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 M1 Max 32GB can run Nous Hermes 2 SOLAR 10.7B with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 33.7 tok/s.
Nous Hermes 2 SOLAR 10.7B (10.699999809265137B parameters) requires approximately 12.1 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Nous Hermes 2 SOLAR 10.7B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On MacBook Pro M1 Max 32GB, Nous Hermes 2 SOLAR 10.7B achieves approximately 33.7 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 5744ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Nous Hermes 2 SOLAR 10.7B on MacBook Pro M1 Max 32GB receives a C grade with 33.7 tok/s and 155K context.
On MacBook Pro M1 Max 32GB, Nous Hermes 2 SOLAR 10.7B can safely use up to 155K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Not always. MacBook Pro M1 Max 32GB 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.
