This is a big part of the reason I went local-only. Subscription limits are horrible for having a decent workflow.

- giancarlostoro 2mo agoYeah, it sure was convenient that there was a RAM pricing crisis right when Apple was making local inference viable. All because of a promise that AI companies will buy more of it... with money they don't yet have, whereas Apple does have lots of money.
- LinXitoW 2mo agoThere's no universe in which just buying a second or a larger subscription isn't a billion times better and cheaper than any kind of comparable local workflow. Privacy, experimenting with ML and "unorthodox" needs are currently the only acceptable reasons to do local.
- skohan 2mo agoWell I wouldn't say a billion times better. I've actually been having a surprising amount of success working with local models. And my investment has only been the equivalent of 4 months of a Max x20 subscription. Experimentation and privacy are definitely advantages, but it's also quite a lot of fun.
