LocalLLaMA asks for Apple M5 Pro LLM benchmarks

A LocalLLaMA thread asks whether anyone has tested Apple’s M5 Pro for local LLM workloads, especially newer Qwen 3.5 models. Early replies provide anecdotal performance claims and a YouTube pointer, but no standardized benchmark results in the thread itself.

// ANALYSIS

This is a demand signal for benchmarking data rather than a concrete benchmark announcement.

–The post is a community question, not an official release or validated test report.
–Discussion focuses on missing M5 Pro results versus already-circulating M5 base and M5 max numbers.
–Current comments are useful directional input but too inconsistent for reliable model-to-model comparison.
