#### Tested on an M3 Ultra 512 GiB RAM using [Inferencer app v1.11](https://inferencer.com)
- Text inference: ~21.04 tokens/s @ 1000 tokens ~423.61 GiB (debug build)
- 2x Batched inference: ~30.1 tokens/s
- Vision inference: ~18.28 tokens/s ~426.53 GiB

<p style="margin-bottom:0px;">
<strong>Q3.5-INF uses the data-agnostic INF method tuned to yield maximum general accuracy within a 512 GiB memory budget</strong>

Due to system memory and time constraints, the base generation was inferenced directly from storage and limited to the first 512 tokens for our coding tests. To address this, generation was configured to output complex functionality from the start rather than incremental scaffolding. While this setup differs from typical usage, it stresses early-token accuracy and the observed trends appear consistent with those seen in larger-scale evaluations of other models. These figures may be updated in future with extended evaluations.
