50-70tk/s is what I get on my m5 max on a 5-6bit Qwen 3.8 27B?

I don't know what black magic you're up to but I see more like 30-35t/s on a 16" M5 Max using 3.8:27b Q4, regardless of whether it's mlx or gguf.

qwen3.5:122b-a10b is significantly faster at around 60-65.

		With MTP? I get 25-30 TPS on a strix halo. 50+ on a M5 max should very doable. Dflash (2) will push your TG even further

I tried 8-bit, perhaps I should try 6-bit.
