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, Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB can run Codestral 22B v0.1 with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 34.6 tok/s.
Codestral 22B v0.1 (22B parameters) requires approximately 30.7 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Codestral 22B v0.1 is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB, Codestral 22B v0.1 achieves approximately 34.6 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 5599ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Codestral 22B v0.1 on Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB receives a C grade with 34.6 tok/s and 397K context.
On Mac Studio M2 Ultra 128GB, Codestral 22B v0.1 can safely use up to 397K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Not always. Mac Studio M2 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.
