It's so strange to me that tech crowd uses macs for use cases that spend all their time idle or serve some light http request.

It's a glorified API gateway...it could run on a medium sized potato

Almost like an entire generation just grew up coding on macbooks as the obvious choice for coders and just can't conceptualize hardware outside of that walled garden



for local LLM, obvious choice:

idle = doesn't have to be H200 speeds

uses macs = local LLM can use all the ram, be smarter

as for hosted models, potato is tasty
