I suspect that the M2 air is thrashing the disk pretty aggressively. Diffusion models rerun the same model once per step, so for a generation with 50 steps, you copy the entire model in and out of memory 50 times. That's going to kill

I'm not diabetic, but I tried a FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor to measure my blood sugar, and I think it's basically what you are asking for. Tap your phone on a patch on your arm to get a instant view of your blood
