Yea my m4 max with 128gb has ended up making a lot of sense for me. I do video editing, I train ml models, I run large open AI models, I do 3d modeling, rendering and cad work. I never do all of this 100% of the time, I’ll setup a ml training to run over night and check results in the morning, during work I’ll set it up as a server and run local models, on my own time I’ll edit video and work on 3d modeling. It’s an incredibly versatile machine - and all of this is done while keeping your data on your device and giving you full control over your workflows.
