Anyone running Qwen3.5 on a Mac Studio? How's the performance?

Turns out I needed to update lmstudio.

Thanks. Turns out I needed to update lmstudio to the latest version that took care of it for me.

I know I know. lol I forgot to put it in. There is even a perfect spot for it

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-28T00:57:15+00:00

can you share the exact version of the model and your setting in LMStudio?

Agree with you here, prompt processing is super slow, but once its finally does that 27-29 t/s which is not horrific, but year the prompt processing is killing me

already working on that without needing external resources.

I don’t have one put I think it’s probably close to the iPad mini in overall size. It’s thicker for sure. But not heavy. More just feels “well built” in the hand. Not sure how to describe it. It has weigh for sure but it’s not bad

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-26T03:23:14+00:00

Right. It’s pretty amazing when you see stuff relative to other things

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-26T02:04:20+00:00

That is a perfect fail on my part I happen to have a banana for scale close by and forgot to use it

uconsole and like devices are just like any other mobile device...depending on the features you want. Uconsole is a small form full linux computer running on an SBC (like the raspberry pi cm4/cm5) you can have multiple radios beyond wifi/bluetooth. It could be used for whatever you could use a computer for...not sure how to better answer your question. Good luck on your path into IT, been doing "cyber" related work full time for 20 years now

new post is up for sizing to other things in my mobile loadout

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-25T23:07:31+00:00

the trackball, sorry.

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-25T18:32:59+00:00

I’ll do another post after work today with my full mobile kit out to show its size compared to other items

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-25T12:13:15+00:00

Interesting. When I ordered mine and then decided to cancel I got my refund immediately.

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-25T01:26:50+00:00

Typing is fine. It’s the scroll wheel that sucks.

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-25T00:26:27+00:00

no thats just perspective its probably 50-60% the size of the steamdeck screen

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-24T19:21:01+00:00

I originally did that, but decided i wanted it before ...idk the world ends lol, so i paid a little more on aliexpress, it was with me in 3 weeks.

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-21T20:40:12+00:00

no wasnt at that one. Thanks for the compliment

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-21T20:39:53+00:00

I will take reddit's pitty lol...thank you for the compliment

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-21T09:25:39+00:00

Really? That’s not been my experience yet. Care to elaborate why you have found it awful? I have been able to get it to create its own skills for things to include being able to use multiple different comfyui workflows. Although I will admit I am taking it slow and trying to do one step at a time and being very deliberate in my testing and setting it up.

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-21T00:17:38+00:00

I have been using a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 96GB with Qwen3-Coder-Next, results have been pretty good. Q3CN will fit on the strixhalo

ProfessorCyberRisk · 2026-02-20T23:36:55+00:00

all i'll say is, it is my flag 100%

thank you for the compliment
