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.

Inference speed
Estimated decode speed (tokens/sec) for zephyr 7b dpo full i1 at Q4_K_M across popular GPUs and Apple Silicon, using the fastest local runtime per device. Fastest is RTX 5090 32GB at ~98 tok/s. Speed is memory-bandwidth bound, so cards that fit the whole model in VRAM run far faster than ones that offload to system RAM.

Run
lms load hf-mradermacher--zephyr-7b-dpo-full-i1-gguf && lms server startYes, Mac Studio M1 Ultra 128GB can run zephyr 7b dpo full i1 with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 98.0 tok/s.
zephyr 7b dpo full i1 (7B parameters) requires approximately 19.8 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for zephyr 7b dpo full i1 is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Mac Studio M1 Ultra 128GB, zephyr 7b dpo full i1 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, zephyr 7b dpo full i1 on Mac Studio M1 Ultra 128GB receives a C grade with 98.0 tok/s and 1.4M context.
On Mac Studio M1 Ultra 128GB, zephyr 7b dpo full i1 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 M1 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.
