1st promptCold start — includes initialization
>Write a Python function to sort a list
Here's a Python function that sorts a list using quicksort:
def quicksort(arr):
if len(arr) <= 1:
return arr
pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)
# Example usage
numbers = [3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 1]
print(quicksort(numbers)) # [1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10]
The algorithm picks a pivot, partitions the list into smaller, equal, and larger elements, then recursively sorts each partition and concatenates the results.
2nd promptWarm — model ready, no init overhead
>Now add type hints and a docstring
def quicksort(arr: list[int]) -> list[int]:
"""Sort a list using the quicksort algorithm.
Args:
arr: List of integers to sort.
Returns:
A new sorted list.
"""
if len(arr) <= 1:
return arr
pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)
Added type hints for the input and return type, plus a Google-style docstring.

What limits this setup
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB run Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B?
Yes, MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB can run Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B with a B grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 59.0 tok/s.
How much VRAM does Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B need?
Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B (7B parameters) requires approximately 9.5 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
What is the best quantization for Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B?
The recommended quantization for Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
What speed will Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B run at on MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB?
On MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB, Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B achieves approximately 59.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 3282ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
Can MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB run Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B for coding?
For coding workloads, Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B on MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB receives a B grade with 59.0 tok/s and 131K context.
What context window can Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B use on MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB?
On MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB, Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B can safely use up to 131K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 131K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Is unified memory on MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB as fast as VRAM for Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B?
Not always. MacBook Pro M2 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.
