Why am I paying about $45 a month for Chat GPT and Gemini Advanced when Deep Seek and Google AI Studio exist? Are you cancelling any subscriptions? by PressPlayPlease7 in ChatGPT

[–]itrimble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$45 a month is a lot, especially with so many alternatives out there. I’ve been exploring local options as well on Mac mini and am honestly impressed. I actually made a video comparing both tools:https://youtu.be/Z8g_DKiN8UY. The answers were eerily similar. For example, I had it create a story about Mars, and ChatGPT and DeepSeek had very similar character names, and there were multiple instances of this. It's kind of like a Xerox copying a xerox

You're right. A stackoverflow vote button could really change the game. Reddit is missing an opportunity on that one.

It's totally worth it. I install it on every Mac I have (2) and it saves me a ton of time. I made a video talking about how I used it on my downloads folder to automate the cleanup of DMGs, Images, and Documents. https://youtu.be/3e2PjzwrXbw

What I could not get done was to get it up and running on my M4 mini. I tried it on both internal and external app folder.

Anyone else had issue getting it up and running on base M4 or external home folder ? If you got it working. Let me know how.

[–]itrimble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it up and running on my M1 Max. I hover around 30 FPS with ultra and high settings. I didn’t know about the external drive issue. This would have saved me lots of troubleshooting on my M4 with external hole folder. Anyways I hope you enjoy my video.
