Running Local GenAI on Apple's New Chips
Prestigious_Cat85 · reddit · 2026-07-16
The post asks about the performance of running local generative models on Apple's new silicon computers, specifically for tasks like LTX / WAN, and whether it's worth buying a MacBook Pro configured with an M4 Pro, 48GB RAM, and a 2TB SSD.
Essentially, it discusses the practicality and hardware configurations of Apple computers for local AI inference, focusing heavily on VRAM/RAM, performance, and the overall feasibility of running models locally.
