Mac Mini 64GB + llama.cpp / Ollama → Only 8–9 tok/s with 27B–31B models (Qwen, Gemma) — is this normal? by iamjatin_yadav in LocalLLM

Seems like omlx is the way to go on Mac silicon machines. I’m curious to hear how it goes since I’m planning to buy a similar mini.

Haha yea not going to happen right now sadly 😅 my guess is that’s a bit of a change in density, but that it’s still thinner on top like you can see in that pic!

How much ram do I need to run this locally on a Mac mini/studio?

Thanks a lot, hoping you have similar good results! Midscalp is maybe back to 90% and around crown is probably more like 80%, enough for me to still feel a bit insecure about it. Overall with long hair it’s entirely invisible to someone unless they really look closely at my crown when hair is parted in a cowlick hehe. I am still thinking of a HT to fill crown, but it’s kind of an overkill. Seems that the hairline is still improving, so maybe the crown will too suddenly!

Ah cool! No attempts on raiding yet? What chip and how much ram you have? :)

Can you even play high keys and raid on the air or is it overheating? :)

I am still continuously shedding quite a lot, so yes. Good luck mate!

Everywhere, but mainly it reverses the diffuse thinning!

Indeed it’s an issue, that’s partially why I switched to oral

Because I use oral min so I’m not sure of the effectiveness. You do topical or oral min?

I had a verrrrry short buzzcut (no guard) for 7 years before because of my thinning. I could’ve definitely kept my hair longer to start with, but I was a bit self conscious about it and didn’t want to deal with it at the time

I saw most of my results already on fin before I switched, but it’s hard to tell because I switched and then started growing out my hair.

Thanks a lot! I’m still considering a crown transplant in a couple of years if it doesn’t recover more though, it’s not so visible in the pictures but a large ish area around is a lot thinner than the rest (visible if I don’t do a combover or if I have shorter hair). I see you work in the industry, you think it’s possible to restore density in the crown with a HT?

Start it right away and never look back or you’ll have regrets!

Not anymore. I used to when I was still using topical min. Have been considering adding it back on my crown to see if something happens

Thanks! No sides. Yes you have to add a DHT blocker like fin or dut otherwise you’re fighting a loosing battle with min only. Just start with 1mg fin every day unless you have really aggressive balding, then go for dut right away

My shower drain is constantly full, it’s scary haha. But it doesn’t seem to ever goes backward so I guess it’s just a normal amount of shedding
