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 Air M3 24GB can run GGUF SOLARized GraniStral 14B 1902 YeAM HCT with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 8.0 tok/s.
GGUF SOLARized GraniStral 14B 1902 YeAM HCT (14B parameters) requires approximately 13.7 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for GGUF SOLARized GraniStral 14B 1902 YeAM HCT is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On MacBook Air M3 24GB, GGUF SOLARized GraniStral 14B 1902 YeAM HCT achieves approximately 8.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 24314ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, GGUF SOLARized GraniStral 14B 1902 YeAM HCT on MacBook Air M3 24GB receives a C grade with 8.0 tok/s and 51K context.
On MacBook Air M3 24GB, GGUF SOLARized GraniStral 14B 1902 YeAM HCT can safely use up to 51K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Not always. MacBook Air 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.
