日本語(JA) Qwen2.5-VL 7BはM1 Max 64GBで何tok/s出るか — OCR実測で見えた「画像の複雑さは速度に効かない」理由

Qwen2.5-VL 7B OCR speed on M1 Max tied to text length, not image complexity

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent test of the Qwen2.5-VL 7B model on an M1 Max 64GB machine revealed that image complexity does not significantly impact processing speed for optical character recognition (OCR) tasks. Instead, the length of the text to be transcribed was the primary factor determining output speed, with processing times ranging from 23.4 to 26.0 tokens/second after the initial model load. The tests also indicated that while the model is highly accurate, especially with structured data like receipts, it can make occasional minor errors in longer, free-form text, with one instance of a single character misconversion found in a 356-character Japanese document.

    How many tokens/sec can Qwen2.5-VL 7B achieve on an M1 Max 64GB — The reason why "image complexity does not affect speed" became apparent through actual OCR measurements

    <p>ローカルVLM(視覚言語モデル)の速度比較記事はいくつもあるが、載っているMacはM4 ProやM4/M5 Maxばかりで、<strong>M1 Max 64GBの実測行は1本も見当たらない</strong>。手元にちょうどQwen2.5-VL 7Bが入っていたので、OCR(画像→テキスト書き起こし)タスクで実際に測った。結論から書くと、<strong>出力速度は画像の内容にほぼ関係なく23.4〜26.0 tok/sの狭い帯に収まった</strong>。速度を決めていたのは画像の複雑さではなく、書き起こす文章の長さだった。</p> <h2> 検証環…
