Solar Open 100B i1 needs ~78.8 GB but MacBook Pro M4 Pro 48GB only has 34.6 GB. Try a smaller quantization or lighter model.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.
Current mode
Balanced
Balanced for general local use. Keeps the ranking neutral across personal and serving workflows.

Usable shared or unified memory is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 78.8 GB, but this setup only exposes 34.6 GB of usable shared or unified memory.
Move to a larger memory pool
A larger unified-memory SKU or a discrete high-bandwidth GPU is the cleanest way to make this model practical.

No, Solar Open 100B i1 requires more memory than MacBook Pro M4 Pro 48GB provides.
Solar Open 100B i1 (100B parameters) requires approximately 78.8 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Solar Open 100B i1 is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On MacBook Pro M4 Pro 48GB, Solar Open 100B i1 achieves approximately 2.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 96800ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Solar Open 100B i1 on MacBook Pro M4 Pro 48GB receives a F grade with 2.0 tok/s and 4K context.
On MacBook Pro M4 Pro 48GB, Solar Open 100B i1 can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Move to a larger memory pool. A larger unified-memory SKU or a discrete high-bandwidth GPU is the cleanest way to make this model practical.
Not always. MacBook Pro M4 Pro 48GB 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.
