Matt Shumer: Local Models Suck, RAM Bottlenecks Multi-Agent Systems
mattshumer_ · x · 2026-08-26
Matt Shumer clarified that despite running agents on four Macs with saturated RAM, he does not use local models due to poor performance. He relies on frontier model harnesses like Claude Code. He noted that local RAM and CPU become critical bottlenecks when running hundreds of agents simultaneously, supporting the shift away from local machines.
