  • Run ChatGPT-style AI on your Mac with OpenAI's new offline tools

    An m3 ultra Mac Studio could be configured with enough RAM to run the 120 billion parameter model. I wonder how it would perform 
    It’s running really well on my M1 Ultra 20-core CPU, a 64-core GPU, and 128GB of unified memory.  A little speechless ATM.
    Can I ask what you do with that LLM (that cannot be done online)?
    Saving some expense by running less demanding AI tasks (i.e. sythesizing datasets for SME model tuning) locally is one thing.  It can be done online but does cost more.

  • First M3 benchmarks show big speed improvements over M2

    5nM/3nM = 1.6 recurring, suggesting a move from the 5nM process to the 3nM process would yield a 67% improvement in speed/power ratio. We are not seeing that.

    Not accounting for other changes and just looking at the size reduction ratio alone, I think the math would suggest that 3nM is a 40% reduction of 5nM, so maybe a 40% increase in speed?

  • Apple MLS Season Pass subscriptions have doubled since Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami

    Being a non-American resident/citizen… pardon my ignorance on some habits and things.

    What does this mean?
    “Season Ticket Holders will get one free access pass to the MLS Season Pass.”

    I understand the last part ‘MLS Season Pass’ as the Apple TV+'s subscription.
    But… ‘Season Ticket holders’ is something of a subscription to the physical stadium?
    And what does it means ‘one free access pass’ —maybe one game in Apple TV+?—.

    (Sorry, in Argentina, where I live, we use quite different distribution methods)
    As an American resident/citizen, I don't know what was meant either.  I wouldn't think you need anything more than one MLS Season Pass, at least for one household.  Perhaps that single access pass is for a single Apple ID / Family account.  Regardless, I'm definitely considering singing up as a result of Messi going MLS - exciting!

  • Review: Apple's new iPad mini still nails its niche market

    Dpkroh-

    I have the same exact mobile setup as you, and agree on all fronts that it is a great combination.  My setup goes a bit further, as I have an iMac Pro, and latest Mac Mini and MacBook Air.  As a pro iOS developer, I use all devices most days and am quite pleased.  Having the right tool for the job was an investment, but pays dividends daily in productivity and low friction in all my use cases.
