Local AI notes

48GB unified memory rivals workstation VRAM for model size without a discrete GPU. Best mini config for larger local models if budget allows.

Unified memory helps large models load without a separate VRAM ceiling. NVIDIA usually wins tokens/sec and CUDA tooling. See Mac vs GPU for local AI.
