GPU Fit Matrix
Can the Mac Studio M4 Max (128GB) run Kimi K2.5?
Yes, but tight — only at INT4
Planning estimate: Kimi K2.5 (235B total / 22B active) needs about120 GB of VRAM at FP4(≈4K context). The Mac Studio M4 Max (128GB) has128 GB.
This is a computed planning estimate (parameter count × bytes/parameter × quantization + context overhead), not a measured benchmark. See how we estimate.
VRAM needed by quantization
| Quantization | Est. VRAM needed | Fits 128GB? |
|---|---|---|
| INT4 | 120 GB | ✅ Yes |
| FP4 | 120 GB | ✅ Yes |
No measured benchmark yet. We don't publish invented tokens/sec — when we have a first-party measured run for this pairing, it will appear here. For now this page is a VRAM planning estimate. Model the exact case in ourVRAM calculator.
