Mac Mini M4 Pro and OpenClaw: Testing Local LLM Inference
The article tests local LLM inference on a Mac mini M4 Pro with 48 GB RAM using OpenClaw and LM Studio. Three models are compared: google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-qat, qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b, and google/gemma-4-31b. Results show that MoE models like gemma-4-26b and qwen3.6-35b offer better speed and energy efficiency compared to the dense model gemma-4-31b.
