Data graphic: published file or download sizes of open-weight model builds against a 24GB Apple Silicon Mac, led by the practical pick Qwen3.8-27B in 4-bit MLX at 16.1GB, with Meta Muse Glimmer 30B NVFP4 at 17GB, Gemma 4 26B A4B at 14.2GB, Gemma 4 12B Unified at 6.98GB, Gemma 4 E4B at 4.22GB, and Laguna XS 2.1 at 20.3GB flagged because Poolside specifies a 36GB Mac. It also notes a 16K–32K working context for 27B–30B models, NVFP4 then 4-bit MLX then Q4_K_M as the best quantizations, and that Devstral Small 2 was retired on 31 March 2026.
