zck pokes fun at a Mac Studio config page: an M5 Ultra chip (36-core CPU, 80-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine) with 512GB unified memory and 16TB storage, priced at $29,799 — or $2,483.25/mo for 12 months. His quip: it must feel great to say "nothing on my end" while running local models from a $30k Mac Studio.
