Anyway.
podcast-host
Um, but there are more, all I'm saying is there are more options than there used to be, but there's still not as many options as there was back in the day when RAM and storage wasn't messed up, but it is a relief from the, the end of the M four days, which is like, you got choices of like two computers and that was it.
podcast-host
We'll find out in a little bit, but yes, the answer is too much.
podcast-host
like a... Put a big stack of Mac studios and connect them together so they can run a model bigger than any single one of them could run.
podcast-host
It works on Thunderbolt 5.
podcast-host
That's what you can do with your Mac studios if you have a lot of money.
podcast-host
yeah i really wish i was still paying for that but i'm i let it lapse totally forgot about it now i'm just living in fear
podcast-host
I think the Mini does too.
podcast-host
I think Genlock might be on both models.
podcast-host
But yeah, this is not a feature that I'm interested in, but they're touting it on their new Macs.
podcast-host
I do wonder.
podcast-host
I mean, we're not aware of these prices because we don't shop for these things.
podcast-host
No, no, not these prices.
podcast-host
The price is about to say, like...
podcast-host
The prices that people pay for, like, the big, giant, cost-as-much-as-a-car NVIDIA things that run LLM training and inference, you know, those things, those have always been tens of thousands of dollars.
podcast-host
But I'm assuming those have also increased.
podcast-host
I mean, I don't know how it works, because, like, the whole reason the RAM crisis is there is because they bought up all the RAM for those, so maybe those prices are steady.
podcast-host
But anyway, when I see, like, an $18,000, $20,000 M5 Ultra config...
podcast-host
And it's only got 256 gigs of RAM.
podcast-host
I'm like, well, if I have $20,000 and I want to do LLM stuff, why don't I buy one of those rack-mount NVIDIA things that has way more RAM and is way more powerful?
