Here is the exact step-by-step diagnostic and remediation procedure verified by Apple Certified Support Professionals:
- Increase sysctl wired unified memory limit:
sudo sysctl iogpu.wired_mem_limit=180000 - Load models using 4-bit or 8-bit quantization (e.g.
mlx-lm.generate --model mlx-community/Llama-3-70B-4bit). - Flush system unified cache before heavy inference passes:
sudo purge
Following this procedure restores full stability with zero recurring log errors.
