Local Agents Saturate 4 Macs' RAM, Author Calls for Cloud Solutions
mattshumer_ · x · 2026-08-26
The author reveals running agents simultaneously across four Macs, completely saturating each machine's RAM. As model capabilities improve and agent counts rise, local compute has become the bottleneck, necessitating a complex cross-machine management setup. The author argues this hardware-heavy approach is unsustainable and calls for cloud-native solutions (like an independent cloud host per agent) to match increasingly powerful models.
