Summary

User reports about 45 tokens/sec on a 7B Llama model in MLX on an M1 Max 64GB, but finds 7B too limited for most tasks. Setup is LM Studio; the user also tried a 32B Qwen model there and hit errors. User asks which models suit offline research, legal and medical analysis, light coding, CAD/PCB, Blender and image generation, and is looking to move up to 32B, 70B and 120B models.
