Jina Reranker v2 Base Multilingual on Apple M1 Max (64 GB)

Can the Apple M1 Max (64 GB) run Jina Reranker v2 Base Multilingual?

Yes, it runs great

Runs great. At F16 it needs about 1.2 GB of 48.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 32 ms.

Best precision: F16
Time per decision: 32 ms
Decisions per second: 31/s
Input assumed: 512 tokens
Returns: Probability or score

Best app to run it on the Apple M1 Max (64 GB)

On macOS

llama.cpp

Command line + local API · runs on llama.cpp

Serves the GGUF build behind a /v1/rerank endpoint with llama-server --rerank.

llama-server -hf gpustack/jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual-GGUF:FP16 --rerank

Text Embeddings Inference Purpose-built server for encoder rerankers and classifiers: batching and Flash Attention keep each call to milliseconds.
Infinity Local API for rerankers and classifiers, including models TEI does not support.

How we choose: the files published for this model, your operating system and GPU, whether it fits fully in memory, and published speed tests (MLX vs llama.cpp on Apple silicon, vLLM vs llama.cpp vs Ollama on NVIDIA). Details.

How it’s rated

Quality 70Great quality (A) · 70 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 86/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at F16, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: S 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs great: How well it runs on the Apple M1 Max (64 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	31.5 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.	25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.	15.0 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.	15.0 / 15
Match score	86.5 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
