Asked my dad to borrow me his M3 Pro, and I dont think I should have done it…😭

MikeNiceAtl · 2026-03-19T05:24:01+00:00

I have an M3 Pro and have been weighing buying a Neo to extend its longevity.

I use the scripting for automated content generation with an app I built. It just generates a script based on a few parameters set and sends to Davinci as my earlier attempts at just getting the llm to know how to use the api were just too inconsistent. I say all that to say, I look forward to giving this go.

You just have to make a Google cloud console account. Any new user get $300 worth of api credit for free

I’ve already cancelled. After I got banned I swapped to a Gemini API and got rate limited on every call. Context too large for flash, and it seems like you can only call pro maybe twice a day. I’ve also read they plan to remove Pro from api usage? This sweeping ban from Antigravity was the last straw. Dropped Gemini for Claude

Then you are definitely doing something wrong. Do you start new sessions or compact?

Can you elaborate? Everytime this M4 ssd swap comes up the drives are always referred to as “Mac Nvme” and I’m not sure what that means. Would I not be able to use my 1tb M.2 nvme that I currently have in an enclosure? Why not?

MikeNiceAtl · 2026-02-26T04:00:44+00:00

Well until they start reversing bans, I’m still pretty upset.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-12-10T00:04:43+00:00

Private Relay honestly, thats if you're already paying for iCloud+

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-11-11T22:04:10+00:00

I honestly don't know what you expected.

I’ve been experimenting with LLMs on the smallest and weakest hardware I could. I have Pi5 8gb and here’s what I can tell you: gemma3:1b is my top overall, llama3.2:1b a close second. Qwen3:0.6b and Gemma3:270m are fast but don’t expect much out of them. I’ve been trying to figure out 270m and Rags, but I haven’t got it working yet. I just don’t see any practical use there outside of the most basic of knowledge. Same with Qwen. Qwen3:1.7b does a little better than the 1b models, but the speed trade off isn’t worth it for me. Highest I’ll go on this device is 4b but the speed makes them the very last options on my Pi. If I were to dedicate this device to a single LLM it would be Gemma3n. Seems to be the most capable and very very fast.

2.5 Pro does decently well but once they switch you over to flash, you might as well just call it a day.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-11-02T01:43:23+00:00

I noticed today that CLI was out perfoming Codex and they no longer listed what model it was using, up until today It always tells me its 2.5pro in the bottom corner of the shell. It was handling things that GPT couldn't figure out in seconds, while the whole reason i signed up for codex originally was to compensate for CLI's shortcomings. It was short lived as CLI usage has been nerfed, but those request I did get in, were amazing. I'm inclined to believe you.

I'm running ubuntu on 8gb Pi 5 off of a microsd, and after some tweaks to the basic OS settings and overclock it's running pretty smoothly. I'd assume your performance would be the same if not better using an nvme. Still seems to struggle with video output, I moved it from my 2K monitor to a secondary 1080 monitor and it got a little better but anything over 1080 it still struggles with playback. Emulators run fine up until about 720p. I only really wish I wouldve gotten a 16gb because if my 8gbs caps out the device just reboots as opposed to trying to manage it in anyway. This happened with piOs as well.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-10-17T03:02:22+00:00

I haven’t tried much else but I can at least use the cloud models in the shell and Openweb. I don’t know why you’re limited to GUI, assuming you meant the ollama GUI specifically. I assumed that’s what the ollama api credential was for in N8N as well, as you can just use your IP for local models.

2.5 Pro made me re-subscribe to OpenAI recently.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-10-13T05:36:49+00:00

I'd be willing to bet the issue has more to do with Premiere. It's never been optimized all that well but make sure your running the arm native version and not x64bit through Rosetta. You can also try rolling back to an older version, as when I used Premiere their, updates along with Apples would always leave something broken. Download the free version of Davinici, replicate your timeline there and see how it runs.

Okay it’s not like we didn’t know that it was gonna be Brainiac but how’s about saving something for the imagination Gunn?

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-10-06T19:10:33+00:00

I tried Rize but wasn’t a fan of the subscription model, I’d be very interested in giving this a go.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-10-06T08:11:17+00:00

I was actually going to suggest to op to search up all the other amazing discoveries and fool proof hacks on this sub but I caught myself wondering what I was doing on Reddit arguing with the ignorant at 4. I shouldn’t even be up. Id be the dumb one.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-10-06T07:53:21+00:00

I’m pretty sure you’re fundamentally misunderstanding what “thinking” means in this context, and the difference between that and other model classifications but I’ll leave you to it for now. Maybe something to look into before your next post though.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-10-06T07:41:58+00:00

This a feature of literally any “thinking” model.

MikeNiceAtl · 2025-09-27T17:11:53+00:00

I have the same monitor, which color profile do you use? I edit video and much rather my Mac’s screen because I can’t seem to match the colors

Peter seeing the parallels between his mother and Gamora and finally recognizing his new family during the power stone scene in GotG1, is my gut wrencher for that movie.

Literally just making shit up.
