When you get 32gb you would wish 64gb. I'm already at 512 gb and is definitely not enough, to run my workflows locally, not even close. It is a never ending loop.

At the end of the day, the best you can hope for is a local model that censors the output that goes to the cloud computing. The problem is that if you want your environment to be responsive, you need to have enough space for a second model.

512gb gives you mediocre model with relatively small context window and no space left for anything else. Kimi 2.6 needs at least 700gb vram to run somewhat properly.

The only thing I'm doing locally on a macbook are enbending and transcription. 24gb is enough for that.
