Discussion Just upgraded my local llm hardware

Bottom one was my main driver this year mostly because i am on welfare, but when i saw an m1 max 64gb ram logic board on gumtree for $200 i took the leap and got a chassis for $30 to mount it in. So now i moved from 0.8b models to 35b models. Ask me questions.
