User reports 79.1 t/s generation. Source evidence (verbatim): Source: https://bestllmfor.com/guides/macbook-pro-m5-max-128gb-ai-benchmark/ # MacBook Pro M5 Max 128GB AI benchmark Joel Ramat ran these tests on his own 16-inch MacBook Pro on September 16, 2026. M5 Max, 18 CPU cores, 40 GPU cores, 128 GB unified memory advertised at 614 GB/s, macOS 27.0, Ollama 0.34.1, plugged in, default GPU memory limit. All figures are raw outputs from Ollama. Each model was run twice with the same prompt (a 300 word explanation of unified memory versus VRAM) and only the second pass kept, one model loaded at a time. Generation speed: gpt-oss 120B MXFP4 (65 GB) 79.1 tok/s; gpt-oss 20B MXFP4 (13 GB) 113.4 tok/s; Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B MLX (23 GB) 167.2 tok/s; Qwen 3.8 27B MLX (18 GB) 68.0 tok/s; Qwen 3.8 27B GGUF Q4 (17 GB) 36.6 tok/s; Gemma 4 12B GGUF Q4 (7.6 GB) 58.1 tok/s. Prefill on a 16,689 token document with gpt-oss 120B: 1,388 tok/s, time to first token 12.0 s, generation 67.6 tok/s on that run. Only short bursts were tested, one machine, one operator.
