For anyone who has been watching Apple since the iPod commercials, Apple really really has grey area in the honesty of their marketing.

And not even diehard Apple fanboys deny this.

I genuinely feel bad for people who fall for their marketing thinking they will run LLMs. Oh well, I got scammed on runescape as a child when someone said they could trim my armor... Everyone needs to learn.

I don't know that there would be a huge overlap between the people who would fall for this type of marketing and the people who want to run LLMs locally.

There definitely are some who fit into this category, but if they're buying the latest and greatest on a whim then they've likely got money to burn and you probably don't need to feel bad for them.

Reminds me of the saying: "A fool and his money are soon parted".

Yesterday I ran qwen3.5:27b with an M1 Max and 64 GB of ram. I have even run Llama 70B when llama.cpp came out. These run sufficiently well but somewhat slow but compared to what the improvements with the M5 Max it will make it a much faster experience.
