On paper the M4 should be roughly 1/3 of the M5, in practice it is only 1/2. With the right, optimized model like qwen3.6 35B MoE MLX you can get over 40 tok / sec on it. I run dozens of background jobs that are not time-critical on it.

What kind of jobs?

Scanning mailbox, reading and classifying emails. Scanning a knowledge base, reading and improving individual articles, reading support interactions and creating summaries, checking and researching new leads that signed up. So much that is possible.
