honestly, Apple won the AI infra lottery: > M5 Ultra is an absolute BEAST with up to 512GB unified memory > OpenAI bought 10,000s of Macs for RL > Anthropic rents Macs through AWS Apple even advertises running Kimi locally on M5 Ultra. I’m still waiting to see demos for that.

Been using the M5 Ultra Mac Studio for the past week and predictably it is the most powerful computer I've ever used. At this point, the improvements are not even targeted at me (a video creator) anymore. They're targeted at being the best machines for local AI work. There's nothing I can make Final Cut do with 256GB of unified memory that it couldn't do with 128GB It's been fascinating to see how even the way Apple talk about the computer over the years has changed. The name studio did a lot of lifting, and they showed off 3D, video workflows, development, etc. Now the site is FULL of local AI apps and use cases. So I'm also happy to report it's a great computer that's almost completely unnecessary for every video creator like me that's not doing 3D work. You do not need to spend the $10K+ that this Mac costs. But if you do? It absolutely rips.
