Your setup sounds awesome can I ask - would a high powered mac studio help yoru setup alot or not really? Im just wondering whether i truly need to upgrade from a 32gb macbook air to a studio with 256gb ram or , if thats just overkill for the models we have ( also the studio would be a m2 which is years old now).

Well i run the new qwen3.6 or gemma4 now. I have a 48gb ram Macbook but its from work, so not really meant to be serving models 24/7.

And then for ‘big’ work I tend to switch to a cloud offering. With a 128gb mac I would be 100% offline probably.
