What machine are you working on primarily?

Arūnas Liuiza @ideag1d8c88eb7

MacBook Pro 14-inch, M4. Kind of feels like overkill to herd LLMs nowadays.

Nice! I think you can't go wrong with it. How much RAM?

Arūnas Liuiza @ideag1d39067a6

48gb - was upgrading from 8gb M1 and I think I overcorrected a bit :)

Joseph Miclaus @josephmiclaus1d9796a37

Nah definitely great choice! You were thinking ahead.

I'm using like 10% of that system capabilities nowadays. All my LLMs live in cloud/vps, and I basically herd them via web interfaces. Anything that can run a browser is enough, basically.

Have you tried LM Studio or some other local harness? With 48GB and your processor it should be good for small offline use cases.

I prefer to keep everything out of the local box, as that means I can control/review things on the go with just my phone. Means I can leave the laptop home most of the time.
