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.

Yes, MacBook Pro M4 Pro 24GB can run Helply 10.2b chat i1 with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 29.7 tok/s.
Helply 10.2b chat i1 (10.199999809265137B parameters) requires approximately 10.9 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Helply 10.2b chat i1 is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On MacBook Pro M4 Pro 24GB, Helply 10.2b chat i1 achieves approximately 29.7 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 6512ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Helply 10.2b chat i1 on MacBook Pro M4 Pro 24GB receives a C grade with 29.7 tok/s and 101K context.
On MacBook Pro M4 Pro 24GB, Helply 10.2b chat i1 can safely use up to 101K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Not always. MacBook Pro M4 Pro 24GB 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.
