Yeah, but that's personal use at best, not much agentic anything happening on that hardware. Macs are great for small models at small-medium context lengths, but at > 64k (something very common with agentic usage) it struggles and slows down a lot.
The ~100k hardware is suitable for multi-user, small team usage. That's what you'd use for actual work in reasonable timeframes. For personal use, sure macs could work.
True, but I think for local models, we are mostly considering personal usage.
