Can I run Gemma 2 27B on Apple M1 (8-core GPU)?

Probably not, though offload might cover it.

This one is close. The answer rests on a file size we calculated from the parameter count rather than measured. A 10% error in that size changes the verdict, so treat it as a maybe and test before you buy.
