- • Assumes GGUF / MLX conversions of this model exist (they do for most popular models). Sizes are computed from bits per weight.
- • No chat template found; tool calling is inferred as limited (low confidence).
- • toolCalling: basic, inferred from missing signals (low confidence).
- • thinking: basic, inferred from missing signals (low confidence).
- • vision: good, inferred from config (low confidence).
- • Capability ratings are estimated from model size and name — this model hasn't been assessed by hand.
- • Commercial use unknown: Check the model card.

Why?
- Model fits with approximately 32 GB of memory headroom.
- LM Studio supports hardware acceleration on this machine (Metal (Apple GPU)).
- Aider can connect to LM Studio (officially supported).
- Generation (45–65 tok/s) should be appropriate for interactive coding.
- Ingesting a prompt of 14K tokens takes ≈20 s; prompt processing keeps up with interactive coding.
- 32K working context is reasonable.
- Weak coding capability for interactive coding.
Why “Borderline” rather than “Acceptable”?
- Workload suitability: Weak coding capability for interactive coding.
How sure are we?
Medium confidenceEstimated from bandwidth and compute, calibrated against 2 verified benchmarks of other models on this same chip (measured with a different engine, so calibration is partial).
- Calibrated with verified benchmarks of other models on this chip.
- Hybrid/sliding attention performance varies more between runtimes.
