Feasibility and demand for offline Laya execution on Mac M4
Problem
Users want to run Laya offline on Mac M4 for deterministic inference and low‑power control tasks, but they have concerns about memory usage and performance.
Pain points
- Deterministic inference needs
- Memory usage concerns
- Performance concerns for offline use
Questions to verify
- What is the typical memory consumption of Laya on Mac M4?
- Would you be willing to pay for offline functionality?
- How important is deterministic inference for your use case?

Based on my admittedly limited research, it seems like you should use Laya for much more deterministic tasks where you have some training data. It won't be as good as Jev for zero shot cases.

How much memory does this use of the test machine's (M3 Max) 128 GB unified memory?
