We are both late and early.

You should not buy a fully loaded Mac Studio for AI unless you absolutely NEED macOS. You will be wasting so much electricity idling on prefill while your GPU pulls 150-250w from the wall.

Buy an Nvidia Spark, then whatever cheap Mac you want to use as a thin client. There's no reason to force Apple Silicon's round peg into a square hole like AI inference.
