@nprofile1q... My recent experience with Qwen3.6 35B running locally on a SGX Spark tells me that the local models are virtually on par with the hyperscale models for many tasks like coding. A developer with a 128 gig Mac mini/studio/MacBook can be pretty much self sufficient and not pay those guys a dime.

I think that’s what we are seeing the beginning of now. You can’t find a big RAM Mac anywhere right now. All sold out.
