[r/LocalLLaMA] MLX vs GGUF (Unsloth) - Qwen3.5 122b-10b

Summary

A benchmark compared MLX and GGUF (Unsloth) implementations of the Qwen3.5 122b-10b model on an M4 Max, focusing on text summarization with large context windows up to 120k tokens. The MLX model demonstrated superior performance, exhibiting a faster time to first token and higher tokens per second, particularly when handling extensive prompts. This suggests MLX offers better efficiency for large-context local LLM tasks on Apple Silicon.
