Yes and no. Yes, a half way normal Apple laptop from 2023 will already run qwen3.6 and models like it (20gb rss), so yes, we can do that now, but, they are a little slow. But no, an m5 ultra announced tomorrow at 6k or so will just feel better. And at 6k, this is a little high for most people, but not the top 5%. The trick is we want an iq 130 machine at $2k, not quiet there yet, and nothing nvidia is doing changes that. Their machine is a pale shadow compared to the m5 ultra. Now, a 5090 class with 128gb at 2k, for the whole machine, now we’re talking, but, not there, yet. In a year’s time, yes. Just not now. 😳 Ask me how I know.
