+# DFlash Apple Silicon Pilot — Qwen3.5-4B on M3 Max 36GB
+
+Date: 2026-04-21
+Machine: Apple M3 Max, 36 GB unified memory
+Repo issue: #152
+
+## Command
+
+```bash
+source /tmp/dflash-venv/bin/activate
+cd /tmp/dflash-upstream
+python -m dflash.benchmark --backend mlx \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B \
+    --draft-model z-lab/Qwen3.5-4B-DFlash \
+    --dataset gsm8k \
+    --max-samples 1 \
+    --enable-thinking \
+    --draft-sliding-window-size 4096
+```
+
+## Result
+
+- Dataset: `gsm8k`
+- Samples: `1`
+- Baseline throughput: `22.35 tok/s`
+- DFlash throughput: `46.78 tok/s`
+- Decoding speedup: `2.09x`
+- Average acceptance length: `6.48`
+
+Acceptance length histogram:
+
+```text
+['0.3%', '11.1%', '12.7%', '10.4%', '11.7%', '7.6%', '7.0%', '3.8%', '5.1%', '6.3%', '2.8%', '3.8%', '2.2%', '1.9%', '0.9%', '2.5%', '9.8%']
+```
+
+## Caveats
+
+- This is a **pilot**, not a decision-grade benchmark.
+- Only `1` sample was run, so the throughput number is directional.
+- No apples-to-apples baseline against plain MLX or llama.cpp speculative decoding is included yet.
+- The planner still recommends trying `Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B + z-lab/Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash` on this machine for the more meaningful fit test.
+
+## Interim takeaway
+
+DFlash is **real on Apple Silicon** and already shows a meaningful local speedup on a small matched pair.
+A `2.09x` pilot speedup on `Qwen3.5-4B` is enough evidence to keep pushing toward a proper benchmark slice in this repo.

+
+Date: 2026-04-21
+Machine: Apple M3 Max, 36 GB unified memory
+Repo issue: #152
+
+## Command

+    --max-samples 1 \
+    --enable-thinking \
+    --draft-sliding-window-size 4096
+```
+
+## Outcome
+
+The benchmark did **not** complete successfully on this machine.
+
+### Failure signature
+
+```text
+libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error:
+[METAL] Command buffer execution failed:
+Caused GPU Timeout Error (00000002:kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorTimeout)
+```
+
+Additional shutdown noise:
+
+```text
+bash: [11285: 1] tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device
+resource_tracker: There appear to be 1 leaked semaphore objects to clean up at shutdown
+```
+
+## Interpretation
+
+This is strong evidence that the `Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B + z-lab/Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash` pair is **not currently stable** on an M3 Max 36GB Mac under the upstream MLX benchmark path, at least with the default settings used here.
+
+It may still be salvageable with:
+- smaller block size / different benchmark settings
+- a shorter generation target
+- a different prompt sample
+- upstream MLX / Metal fixes
+- newer Apple Silicon hardware
+
+But as of this run, it should be treated as **experimental / failing** on this exact machine.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+For this Mac, the working local proof path is still:
+- `Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B`
+- `z-lab/Qwen3.5-4B-DFlash`
+
+Use the 4B pair for reproducible local validation while the 9B Metal timeout is investigated separately.

+# DFlash on Apple Silicon
+
+This repo now carries a **Gitea-first benchmark harness** for evaluating whether upstream **DFlash on MLX** is worth adding to the local Apple Silicon inference stack.
+
+## Why
+
+The headline `Kimi K2.6 + DFlash` benchmark was measured on `8x MI300X` with huge RAM and ROCm patches. That exact recipe is not a fit for a `36 GB` Apple Silicon Mac.
+
+What *is* relevant locally is the upstream `z-lab/dflash` MLX path, which can benchmark smaller matched target/draft pairs that fit on Apple Silicon.
+
+## Current repo entry point
+
+Use:
+
+```bash
+python3 benchmarks/dflash_apple_silicon.py --machine-label "M3 Max 36GB"
+```
+
+This prints a benchmark report template with:
+- the selected model/draft pair
+- exact setup commands
+- the upstream MLX benchmark command
+- baseline comparison guidance
+
+Write the template to a file:
+
+```bash
+python3 benchmarks/dflash_apple_silicon.py \
+  --machine-label "M3 Max 36GB" \
+  --output benchmarks/reports/dflash_m3max_36gb.md
+```
+
+Emit the underlying plan as JSON:
+
+```bash
+python3 benchmarks/dflash_apple_silicon.py --format json
+```
+
+## Selection logic
+
+Today the planner uses two upstream-supported MLX pairs:
+
+- `qwen35-9b`
+  - base: `Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B`
+  - draft: `z-lab/Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash`
+  - chosen for ~28 GB+ machines
+- `qwen35-4b`
+  - base: `Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B`
+  - draft: `z-lab/Qwen3.5-4B-DFlash`
+  - fallback for tighter-memory Macs
+
+On a `36 GB` Mac, the default recommendation is `qwen35-9b`.
+
+## Pilot result already landed
+
+A first live Apple Silicon run has already been captured in:
+
+- `benchmarks/reports/dflash_m3max_36gb_qwen35_4b_pilot.md`
+
+Pilot command:
+
+```bash
+python -m dflash.benchmark --backend mlx \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B \
+    --draft-model z-lab/Qwen3.5-4B-DFlash \
+    --dataset gsm8k \
+    --max-samples 1 \
+    --enable-thinking \
+    --draft-sliding-window-size 4096
+```
+
+Pilot outcome on this Mac:
+
+- baseline throughput: `22.35 tok/s`
+- DFlash throughput: `46.78 tok/s`
+- decoding speedup: `2.09x`
+
+Treat that as a **directional proof**, not a final decision benchmark. The next step is the fuller comparison slice against plain MLX or llama.cpp speculative decoding.
+
+## Known 9B failure on this machine
+
+A follow-up live run with:
+
+- `Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B`
+- `z-lab/Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash`
+
+failed on this same M3 Max 36GB Mac with:
+
+```text
+[METAL] Command buffer execution failed:
+Caused GPU Timeout Error (00000002:kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorTimeout)
+```
+
+That failure is recorded in:
+
+- `benchmarks/reports/dflash_m3max_36gb_qwen35_9b_timeout.md`
+
+So the current guidance is:
+- treat `qwen35-9b` as **experimental** on this machine
+- treat `qwen35-4b` as the current **known-working local proof path**
+- keep the issue open until we either stabilize the 9B path or clearly rule it out for this hardware tier
+
+## Upstream benchmark command
+
+The harness uses the upstream MLX benchmark syntax from `z-lab/dflash`:
+
+```bash
+python -m dflash.benchmark --backend mlx \
+    --model Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B \
+    --draft-model z-lab/Qwen3.5-9B-DFlash \
+    --dataset gsm8k \
+    --max-samples 128 \
+    --enable-thinking \
+    --draft-sliding-window-size 4096

+## What remains
+
+This PR adds the **planner + report template** so the benchmark is reproducible from the repo.
+The issue remains open until a real Apple Silicon run lands with:
+
+- measured throughput
+- measured memory
+- a baseline comparison against plain MLX or llama.cpp speculative decoding
+- a recommendation on whether to operationalize DFlash locally

-# Crisis Detection on Edge Devices
-
-Deploy a minimal crisis detection system on low-power devices for offline use.
-
-## Why Edge?
-
-A person in crisis may not have internet. The model must run locally:
-- No cloud dependency
-- No API keys needed
-- Works on airplane mode, rural areas, network outages
-- Privacy: text never leaves the device
-
-## Target Hardware
-
-| Device | RAM | Expected Latency | Notes |
-|--------|-----|------------------|-------|
-| Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) | 4GB | 2-5s per inference | Recommended. Use Q4_K_M quant. |
-| Raspberry Pi 3B+ | 1GB | Keyword-only | Not enough RAM for model. Use keyword detector. |
-| Old Android phone | 2-4GB | 1-3s | Termux + llama.cpp. ARM NEON optimized. |
-| Any Linux laptop | 4GB+ | <1s | Full model possible. |
-
-## Quick Start (Raspberry Pi 4)
-
-### 1. Install Ollama
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
-```
-
-### 2. Pull a small crisis-capable model
-
-```bash
-ollama pull gemma2:2b
-```
-
-### 3. Clone and test
-
-```bash
-git clone <repo-url>
-cd turboquant
-python3 edge/detector.py --text "I want to kill myself"
-```
-
-### 4. Hardware validation (P2 issue #116)
-
-Run the built-in benchmark to validate offline operation and latency:
-
-```bash
-# Test keyword-only (works without any model)
-python3 edge/detector.py --offline --benchmark
-
-# Test with model inference (requires ollama + model)
-python3 edge/detector.py --benchmark
-
-# Expected outputs:
-# - Keyword detection: <1ms (instant)
-# - Model inference: <5000ms on Pi 4 (5s threshold)
-# - Network independent: YES (resources cached locally)
-```
-
-### 5. Systemd service (optional)
-
-Create `/etc/systemd/system/crisis-detector.service`:
-
-```ini
-[Unit]
-Description=Crisis Detector Edge Service
-After=network.target
-
-[Service]
-Type=simple
-ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/turboquant/edge/detector.py --interactive
-Restart=on-failure
-User=pi
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-
-```bash
-sudo systemctl enable crisis-detector
-sudo systemctl start crisis-detector
-```
-
-## Model Selection
-
-See [docs/edge-model-selection.md](edge-model-selection.md) for detailed comparison.
-
-## Offline Resource Cache
-
-Crisis resources are stored in `edge/crisis_resources.json` and require no internet to display.
-
-## Crisis Resources
-
-When crisis is detected, the detector displays:
-
-- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call/text 988)
-- Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741)
-- SAMHSA Helpline
-- Veterans Crisis Line
-- Self-help grounding techniques
-
-All resources work without internet connection.

-# Edge Model Selection for Crisis Detection
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Must run on 2GB RAM (keyword fallback for 1GB devices)
-- Must detect crisis intent with >90% recall
-- Latency <5s on Raspberry Pi 4
-- Quantized (Q4_K_M or smaller)
-
-## Candidates
-
-### Tier 1: Recommended
-
-| Model | Size (Q4) | RAM | Crisis Recall | Notes |
-|-------|-----------|-----|---------------|-------|
-| gemma2:2b | ~700MB | 2GB | ~85% | Best balance of size/quality |
-| qwen2.5:1.5b | ~500MB | 1.5GB | ~80% | Smallest viable model |
-
-### Tier 2: If RAM Available
-
-| Model | Size (Q4) | RAM | Crisis Recall | Notes |
-|-------|-----------|-----|---------------|-------|
-| phi3:mini | ~1.2GB | 3GB | ~90% | Better nuance, needs more RAM |
-| llama3.2:3b | ~1GB | 2.5GB | ~88% | Good general capability |
-
-### Tier 3: Keyword Only (1GB devices)
-
-For devices with <2GB RAM, use `--offline` mode — keyword detection runs in <1ms and requires zero model memory.
