Dev who tried Mac Studio for local LLMs: 'I can run it at home != I can use it for work'
TheZachMueller · x · 2026-10-17
TheZachMueller pushes back on the 'buy a Mac Studio for local models' trend: after working on two M3 Studios, checking the tokens-per-second and actually trying it, he moved to NVIDIA hardware. Quoting Chris Alboyn, he notes many people spend serious money on Mac Studios only to get the monthly token volume of a $100 subscription. His verdict: 'I can run it at home != I can use it for work daily.'
