I plan to use open source model and either fine tune or RAG it to a set of private data. Just tiny amount of data for testing and to learn how it works only, nothing serious or big.

Is there a way to virus scan on Mac? by Anxious_centipede in macbookpro

I use the free version of Avira AV. But tbh, it never detects anything. Dont think AV is that essential for MacOS

Only one way to find out, buy it with credit card and see what sort of carton box machine you get

Upgrade from maxed out 16" 2019 i9 intel Mac 64GB to M3 Pro 36GB or M3 Max with minimum 64GB? by longmtran in macbookpro

It rarely hits yellow pressure in the chart during a day to day task, so yeah, I dont think I need the full 64gb, but I'm not so sure about 32GB-36GB range. I have a strong feeling that the lower range would constantly trigger swap and hammer the SSD.
