Studio m4 ultra with unified RAM will be a game changer for large local LLMs
I expect them to be backordered several months from day 1. China will be hammering the order button with a thousand straw buyers around the world
However, he is wrong that this will net negatively impact nvidia/amd since Mac will ALWAYS be worse at handling medium to large size models
In the near future, the optimal solution will harmonize nvidia/PC with M4 ultra, and cloud-based APIs will orchestrate the whole thing and wrap it in a slick employee-facing front-end
