Support for Apple Silicon (Metal) for Edge0 120B / 145B #201

Open

Description

Area

New backend (GPU / NPU / other accelerator)

What problem are you trying to solve?

Hi,

The 145B / 120B models currently require an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA 13 on Linux or Windows. Apple Silicon Macs can't run them. Are there plans to support the 120B / 145B models on Apple Silicon via Metal?

If there are plans to implement it, I'd be more than than happy to test it on my machine.

My setup is: Mac Studio, Apple M3 Ultra, 60-core GPU, 96 GB unified memory

    For Edge0-145B, day-one support covers macOS, Windows, and Linux, including Apple M-series chips and NVIDIA platforms such as RTX Spark, RTX 4090, and RTX 5090. The release includes one-click deployment tools and hardware guides.

    Same. More than happy to test - M4 Max 128GB. Strata user as well.

    Yeah I've got an M4 Max 128GB, would be happy to try as well. Really confused when I saw the M2 Ultra benchmarks but no mac availability.

    On its way — the Apple Silicon build is in final performance tuning and ships next week. It didn't go out with the launch because we found a few things worth optimising in the Metal path while validating it.
