Are you running with MTP enabled? I have seen some people on M5 hardware report 20+ t/s on Qwen3.6-27B using MTP... and I think that was a regular M5, not even M5 Pro.
Unsloth Studio is also very low effort, and a lot better than LM Studio in my opinion. (Performance, compatibility with Gemma 4, actually open source, etc.)
