This setup is broadly balanced for this model.
Shared-memory contention still exists
The OS, browser, and inference runtime all compete for the same physical memory pool, so real-world headroom is less forgiving than raw capacity suggests.

Run
lms load hf-bartowski--discopop-zephyr-7b-gemma-gguf && lms server startYes, Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB can run DiscoPOP zephyr 7b gemma with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 98.0 tok/s.
DiscoPOP zephyr 7b gemma (7B parameters) requires approximately 19.8 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for DiscoPOP zephyr 7b gemma is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB, DiscoPOP zephyr 7b gemma achieves approximately 98.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 1976ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, DiscoPOP zephyr 7b gemma on Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB receives a C grade with 98.0 tok/s and 1.4M context.
On Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB, DiscoPOP zephyr 7b gemma can safely use up to 1.4M tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Not always. Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB can often fit larger models thanks to unified memory, but a discrete GPU with dedicated high-bandwidth VRAM may still decode faster once the model fits. For this combination, the important distinction is capacity versus sustained throughput.
