First, I think they're not even talking about GPUs, this is macOS hardware so unified memory. Secondly, if they were talking about GPUs, then 96GB VRAM is hardly what people refer to when they say "gpu poor".

1) It would still run on the Mac's GPU.

2) Since it's unified memory, you won't have 96GB available.

3) I offered a solution that is usually recommended to the "gpu poor", if he's concerned with how much memory he would need.

4) I stated, that people already pointed out how he should be fine and that "gpu poor" doesn't apply to him.

5) "gpu poor" depends on what model you are trying to use. If you want to run Kimi or GLM you are still "gpu poor" even if you have an RTX Pro 6000 with 96GB of VRAM.
