Morgan(@morganlinton):Just canceled my Mac Studio order. After sharing on X that I ordered a Mac Studio with 96GB of RAM, which I thought could be my first foray into local ai, a bunch of people told me, this just wouldn't cut it. This was already really expensive for me, never spent even close to this much on a single computer. So, I don't think I can afford local ai right now. I think I'll just need to continue to live vicariously through people here on X with much bigger budgets than me! Thanks for all the feedback everyone, definitely would rather save the money here if this isn't powerful enough to run local ai in a meaningful way.
