Just ordered a $12k mac studio w/ 512GB of integrated RAM.

Can't wait for it to arrive and crank up LM Studio. It's literally the first install. I'm going to download it with safari.

LM Studio is newish, and it's not a perfect interface yet, but it's fantastic at what it does which is bring local LLMs to the masses w/o them having to know much.

There is another project that people should be aware of: https://github.com/exo-explore/exo

Exo is this radically cool tool that automatically clusters all hosts on your network running Exo and uses their combined GPUs for increased throughput.

Like HPC environments, you are going to need ultra fast interconnects, but it's just IP based.

I'd love to host my own LLMs but I keep getting held back from the quality and affordability of Cloud LLMs. Why go local unless there's private data involved?

Offline is another use case.

Nothing like playing around with LLMs on an airplane without an internet connection.

Some of us don't have the most reliable ISPs or even network infrastructure, and I say that as someone who lives in Spain :) I live outside a huge metropolitan area and Vodafone fiber went down twice this year, not even counting the time the country's electricity grid was down for like 24 hours.
