Yes. Llama 3.2 1B fits in fast memory on M1 Max (32c GPU) 32GB at Q8_0 (2 GB needed, 24.0 GB usable), about 246 tok/s (estimate).
Hardware: M1 Max (32c GPU) 32GB · Model: Llama 3.2 1B
M1 Max (32c GPU) 32GB has 32 GB of unified memory and 400 GB/s of memory bandwidth. M1 Max (24c GPU) 32GB and M2 Max (30c GPU) 32GB and M2 Max (38c GPU) 32GB have the same memory and bandwidth, so the fit numbers match; this page is M1 Max (32c GPU) 32GB. The checker leaves macOS a share of unified memory, so Ollama can use 24.0 GB. Llama 3.2 1B (1.24B, Meta) at Q8_0 is a 1.3 GB download and needs 2 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
