I have an M4 Mac with 128GB RAM and I'm currently downloading GLM-4.5-Air-q5-hi-mlx via LM Studio (80GB) and will report back!

How is it going? Intrigued enough to possibly get an M4 Mac with 128GB RAM if it's worthwhile...

I want to hook it up to Zed next and see how that goes

Assuming they keep improving, yes. The one I tried (I responded to the other reply with some output, which was great) is as fast as the cloud ones and nearly as good.
