Hi @ggerganov! This is my first contribution to llama.cpp. I've added a tutorial guide addressing the Apple A-chipsets model size estimation TODO from issue #13523. It covers unified memory architecture, the model size formula, quantization levels, a Mac RAM lookup table, and practical llama.cpp commands. Would appreciate a review when you have time! |

Overview
Adds a tutorial guide for Apple Silicon Mac users on how to estimate
a suitable model size when running LLMs with llama.cpp. The guide covers
unified memory architecture, the model size formula, quantization levels,
a Mac RAM lookup table, practical llama.cpp commands, and recommendations
by memory size. Related discussion: #25065
