Gemma 30B with 256K context runs at 20 tok/sec on my M3 Max with 128GB RAM so I think there’s something wrong with your setup. This should run at ~30-40 toks. Maybe your inference engine is not optimised for Mac.

I just used their `Bonsai-demo` repo like this;

`cd ~/Code/Bonsai-demo && BONSAI_CTX=65536 ./scripts/start_llama_server.sh`

then used it in a very minimalistic pi with a very small system prompt.

Didn't spend much time to try to optimize it tbh, but my issue was not the speed. it just could not make a decision on how to implement the task, kept going on an on.

30B is useless on 24 gigs of ram as there's ~4 gigs of ram left for everything else even with unsloth quants

Try a MoE model like Qwen3.6 35B-A3B for better tok/s

I tried this one, but I found Ornith1.5 to be a better MoE model for me, also very fast. But I still couldn't make it implement a real task on a real repo :( it only worked with an extremely clear directions and very small tasks.
