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 M3 24GB can run dolphin v2 8b abliterated i1 with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 13.9 tok/s.
dolphin v2 8b abliterated i1 (8B parameters) requires approximately 9.3 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for dolphin v2 8b abliterated i1 is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On MacBook Pro M3 24GB, dolphin v2 8b abliterated i1 achieves approximately 13.9 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 13894ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, dolphin v2 8b abliterated i1 on MacBook Pro M3 24GB receives a C grade with 13.9 tok/s and 152K context.
On MacBook Pro M3 24GB, dolphin v2 8b abliterated i1 can safely use up to 152K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Not always. MacBook Pro M3 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.
