Re:Many options for running Mistral models in your terminal ... by robterrell on Monday December 18, 2023 @04:29PM (#38688580)
I've been unable to get Mixtral (mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1.Q6_K.gguf) to run well on my M2 MacBook Air (24 GB). It's super slow and eventually freezes after about 12-15 tokens of a response. You should look at M3 options with more RAM -- 64 GB or even the weird-sounding 96 GB might be a good choice.

You can buy multiple 4090s for that money and will get real GPUs including tensor cores. Still relevant it seems: https://timdettmers.com/2023/01/30/which-gpu-for-deep-learni...
