EXAONE 4.0 32B needs ~34.5 GB VRAM. MacBook Pro M4 Max 96GB has 69.1 GB. With Q4_K_M quantization, expect ~31 tok/s.
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.

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 M4 Max 96GB can run EXAONE 4.0 32B with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 30.8 tok/s.
EXAONE 4.0 32B (32B parameters) requires approximately 34.5 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for EXAONE 4.0 32B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On MacBook Pro M4 Max 96GB, EXAONE 4.0 32B achieves approximately 30.8 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 6292ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, EXAONE 4.0 32B on MacBook Pro M4 Max 96GB receives a C grade with 30.8 tok/s and 164K context.
On MacBook Pro M4 Max 96GB, EXAONE 4.0 32B can safely use up to 164K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Not always. MacBook Pro M4 Max 96GB 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.
