What about a light but bulky AI job, like batch processing 50GB of files? I'm currently doing it on my used Macbook M1 Max 64gb, and it's chugging through it for the cost of electricity (free with my solar).

64gb unified memory is incredibly powerful for a local machine. Most of us have 16GB which is almost useless compared to the API models.
