M5 ultra as indeed up to 512gb of unified memory. So you can run very large models. At the same time it’s much much faster memory speed and bandwidth, almost simular to the nvidia rtx pro 6000.
Sure the price is also high. But you get much better value for this setup compared to what nvidia is delivering you today. I still want to see even more competition… Not just from Apple.
Just wait for Mac m5 ultra
The Mac Studio already has it. And from October, it’ll also be available with 512GB. It does cost around 18K, though.

What I’ve been reading around lately, that’s too much for the daily/major of users.
That’s pretty crazy. I’ve been reading that models around 14-32B is plenty for daily tasks and then some.
The bigger the model the bigger the memory requirements.
