>>109713290AI
>>109713290If you have to ask, you don't need it.
>upgrading from the base 256 gb to 2 tb storage costs 2000$
>>109713290cheapest entry level mac if you need to work with macs for some reason
>>109713290run som qwen 30b model
>>109713547It's going to be slow as fuck.
>>109713290>Dafuq would I even do with this shiiyou could start with giving it back, tyrone
>>109713293you can do a local llm like gemma 4 on a 4790k and ddr3 fine with a 1080ti. >>109713290>Dafuq would I even do with this shiiwhy sign up for itunes and the apple store and apple tv and subscribe to them and set up payment on them and give apple your money OR take the case and leave it full of juicy rotting chicken breast and leave it on the pavement outside an apple store
>>109713712gpu price doesn't include the rest of the pc
>>109713290this company tried to charge you $1000 for a stand, and $200 for a VESA mount.the fuck do you think?
>>109713712ok now compare a 256gb model
>>109713712>5090 $2000more like $5000>M1>M4fake benchmarks as per usual
>>109713918Also the company that charges you extra for an ethernet port on a desktop
>>109713290>Why the fuck is this 900 dollars?it's good>>109713363get a chinesium ssd and do it yourself
>>109716239Well nobody uses the fucking thing so it's understandable they wanted to get rid of it>muh nas>muh wired internetyes you're the 1% of crusty nerds, cool, nobody else does
>>109713293Not with the 900 spec version
>>109713293hardly. i have a mini m4 24gb and cant really do shit ai wise with it unless i want to run gemma e4b
>>109716249>nobody uses ethernetguess how I know you don't have a job.
>>109713290Really regret not getting one when they were like $400. I've been on the fence because I didn't need it and just wanted something to use on the side.
>>109716239I don't even buy these in bulk with ethernet, we have separate 10gbe dongles for everything at work lol
>>109713290>Dafuq would I even do with this shiiGive it back.
>>109713293>aiLmfao I'd rather an Intel B65 and just drop that into my current desktop and btfo applel sillicon Even Apple's maxed out Mac studio for like what over $5k is BTFO by Nvidia and AMD's ai workstation offerings.Also on paper unified memory is fine, but you sacrifice a lot for regular ram tasks whereas with actual VRAM cards you can take full advantage of their capacity.For baby's first ai tasks it's way cheaper to just pay. Who wants to run 7B or 14B quantized models at retard-tier token rates? Nice toys for highschoolers which is what I think Apple's aiming these at. That and uni to get those education dollars.
I use my mac mini m4 16gb for bullshit like editingIt's garbage for AI
>>109713712First of all, the comparison should be between 4 x Mac Studios with the M5 Ultra (36-core CPU, 80-core GPU) chip, with 256 GB of unified memory. Each Mac Studio connected to every other Mac Studio using Thunderbolt 5 cables, with RDMA enabled. Second, you need to test much larger models.
>>109713798only e4b.nobody wants to run a small model like that, you need at least 32GB VRAM for 31b to get anything of importance done
>>109713290Are there any alternative mini PCs which are about this size and preferably have some gaming capability? I've done a bit of searching, but as soon as something becomes gaming capable, suddenly it's 20cm tall and not even remotely "mini".
>>109716243>$2000 and I have to do my own labortell me you own a PC without telling me you own a PC.
