M3 Max for local use - benchplease - 10-15-2026

Wanted to compare notes with people doing similar things.

I'm mostly working with Phi in Ollama on M3 Max. The part I'm trying to understand is prefill/decode split.

Not looking for the perfect answer, mostly what worked in real use.

Did a small comparison this afternoon. The issue went away once I changed one setting and restarted the stack cleanly.
