Macbook Pro 2020 with 16gb of system ram. I think the gpu is Iris Plus? But I don't much keep up on those. I'm now delving into getting this running in Terminal... there are a few things I want to try that I don't think the simple interface allows. Also, I've noticed that when chats get a few kilobytes long, it just seizes up and can't go further. I complained to it, it spent a sentence apologizing, started up where it left off... and got about 12 words further.
