Mac Studio

Apple

“The small Mac that made 64–192GB unified memory a local-LLM workstation.”

M1/M2/M4 Ultra Studios run 70B+ in memory that CPU and GPU share. No 4090, no blower, a fan you can live with. The quiet local rack.

Opened high-memory local inference without a datacenter GPU.

  • Unified memory at workstation sizes
  • Quiet always-on inference
  • mlx/llama.cpp Metal

A lot of RAM, no GPU slot.
