Matthew Miller(@matthewmillerai):I decided not to buy the Mac Studio. It is really hard to justify $9,499 to run local models when frontier models are better and cost $200 a month. The real question I kept asking myself: would I rather run GLM 5.3 Flash locally or run Fable 5 for the next 4 years? Right now that is an easy decision. But the fact that it is even a question tells you where open source is headed.
