Local AI notes
64GB opens larger models and longer context than any 24GB GPU. Used Studios with high RAM are the secondary-market play for serious local AI without NVIDIA.
Mac vs discrete GPU
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.
