M5 Max. But I also have a MacMini M4 Pro 64GB. Qwen3.6 runs on the M4 just fine - sure the M5 is at least 2x the speed. If Apple launches a MacMini with an M5, I will be the 1st one to get it.

You're only going to get an incremental improvement with an M5 Pro mini compared to an M4 Pro mini. Memory bandwidth goes from 273GB/s to 307GB/s, about 12.5% improvement for LLMs.

  I thought they might ship an M5 Max version, but you are probably right.

  M5's have the neural accelarator that boosts prefill speed a lot. But token generation itself will not change that much, that's true.
