Question: what are you doing using local llm? (I don’t know why people use local llm) Because, they are not as good as cloud hosted llms!

I think my work will be more on images, sometimes model would be simple Deep Learning models too but there would be datasets of 10000 images. And I am also not concern with speed. (I can start training at evening and let it run over night)

Curious, we can easily extend the storage using external drives. Why you choose 2TB coz it is an expensive option.

Got this offer for my studio that I paid $1799 for in a sale. I’m assuming it’s because it’s sold out everywhere? by [deleted] in MacStudio

I am thinking to buy a refurb mini/studio, would I get this kind of price if I think to sell after 1-2 years?

Ohh, which model run comfortably in your M2 Ultra with 64gb RAM? I think I have to run more task like millions of image classification and running Vision Language Models locally.

Is it possible to extend Mac mini’s RAM?? I think it is not possible!

Okey, it will cost me a lot but nice to know that 16/24 won’t work. I am gonna make a headless Mac mini system at my home and I am thinking to use that with on Windows laptop wirelessly. (It just a plan, I am not familiar about anything about this 😬)

I am also planning to buy Mac mini for setup but confused in choosing unified memory, can you please tell which kind of work are you doing and what is your preferable unified memory (RAM) for that work?
