What's the consensus regarding best MacBooks for AI/ML?
I've heard it's easier to just use cloud options, but I sill like the idea of being able to run actual models and train them on my laptop.
I have a M1 MacBook now and I'm considering trading in to upgrade.
I've seen somewhat conflicting things regarding what you get for the money. For instance, some reports recommending a M2 Pro for the money IIRC.
- ZeroCool2u 2y agoTraining is not practical. For inference they're pretty great though, especially if you go up in the specs and add a bunch of memory.
- the_king 2y agoTo run LLMs locally (Ollama/LLM Notebook), you want as much memory as you can afford. For actually training toy models yourself for learning/experiments in my experience it doesn't matter much. PyTorch is flexible.
