Can I Run MiMo-V2.5 310B on Apple M2 Max?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated September 29, 2026
No. MiMo-V2.5 310B needs 191.9 GB at 8K context (187.2 GB weights + 4.7 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the Apple M2 Max has only 72 GB usable. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

MiMo-V2.5 310B on the Apple M2 Max: VRAM by quantization

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 96 GB of unified memory. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the Apple M2 Max: 8K 191.9 GB ✗ · 32K 203.5 GB ✗ · 128K 250.2 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 96 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
What to do next
Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a Apple M5 Ultra (512 GB), the card with the least memory we track that holds it.
