²Apple conducted testing in July 2026 using pre-production Mac mini computers with Apple M6 chip, 12-core processor, and 12-core GPU, and production Mac mini computers with Apple M4 chip, 10-core processor, and 10-core GPU. Both configurations had 32 GB unified memory and 2 TB SSD storage. Time to first token was measured with an 8,000-token prompt using a 14-billion parameter model with 4-bit quantization and LM Studio 0.4.18+1. Mac mini systems were tested with a connected 5K display. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect approximate Mac mini performance.
