QuoteAnd if the M6 is not powerful enough or you need more than 32 GB RAM, Apple also offers the Mac mini with the M5 Pro SoC.

This is good I guess, but the not-improvement from previous M5 to more than 32 GB RAM/unified memory is a disappointment, because if one wants to run SOTA model huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MTP-GGUF/blob/main/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf[1] -- and this model would run fast enough on this mini-PC, if it only had 8 GB more RAM/unified memory --, this is how many context tokens one can fit (for this MTP variant, context will be less, because the MTP head also consumes memory):

Quote from: reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1sq94qx/is_anyone_getting_real_coding_work_done_with.. I've come to the conclusion that (1) 32768 is the biggest context I can get away with in an adequately smart model, and (2) it just ain't enough.

Calculating available context: 16,384 [KV cache context tokens per GB]*(32 [GB total memory] - 6 to 8 [GB for the OS] - [quant filesize])[2]:
For huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MTP-GGUF -> UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf:
~34,400 context tokens = 16,384*(32-7-22.9) (confirms the quote)

Hopefully the M7 will come with more than up to 32 GB RAM, 40 GB would be a good start, if APPLE considers 48 GB to eat too much into M Pro.

Kannste vergessen. Die Masse braucht weder Klinke noch SD-Slot bzw. hat sich damit arrangiert, dass es das nicht mehr gibt.

Ich denke, dadurch kommt auch der enorme Aufpreis für das Sony zustande, weil mit dieser Extrawurst eine ganz kleine Käuferschicht angesprochen wird.

That should be a 20 buck game new off the shelf. Games like GTA, fallout, Persona etc... all have over 100 hours of gameplay and time put in. Those I'll gladly pay 80 plus for, because I know I will get my moneys worth. Also... Digital games should not cost the same as a physical.

, only issue I find with this is games like clicker games, or mobile games, I think time put Into making the game should matter too
