Yes. DeepSeek Coder V2 Lite 16B (MoE) fits in fast memory on M2 Max (38c GPU) 32GB at Q8_0 (18 GB needed, 24.0 GB usable), about 62 tok/s (estimate).
Hardware: M2 Max (38c GPU) 32GB · Model: DeepSeek Coder V2 Lite 16B (MoE)
M2 Max (38c GPU) 32GB has 32 GB of unified memory and 400 GB/s of memory bandwidth. M1 Max (24c GPU) 32GB and M1 Max (32c GPU) 32GB and M2 Max (30c GPU) 32GB have the same memory and bandwidth, so the fit numbers match; this page is M2 Max (38c GPU) 32GB. The checker leaves macOS a share of unified memory, so Ollama can use 24.0 GB. DeepSeek Coder V2 Lite 16B (MoE) (15.7B, 2.4B active, DeepSeek) at Q8_0 is a 17 GB download and needs 18 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
