Literally months before! I use it for local AI. Nothing cloud. Mostly generating photos & videos. Occasionally a silly chat bot. I’m trying to explore more options with AI, but most of the AI stuff is for CUDA which is Nvidia hence NOT MacOS. Anyone else with Mac got local AI running? Such as AI music, image to 3D models, QWEn coding, etc. You don't need CUDA to run solid local models on macOS anymore. Modern Apple Silicon tools take huge advantage of unified memory, so your 64GB setup will easily run medium-to-large quantized models. | ||

It sounds like there won't be a good time to build PC for a long time... Depends. If AI suddenly crashes, then there should be lots of components available. If they just keep on throwing money onto AI, then yeah. I am pretty happy that my current PC will probably last a few years without any upgrades. | ||
