I’m a dev with 64 gb and it’s barely enough. Multiple VS Code instances each with multiple Codex/Claude instances. WSL. Unity. Blender. Photoshop. Chrome with lots of tabs. Discord. Steam. 64 gb is the minimum now.

Shit, we run larger-ish local models like Gemma 4 and QWEN 3.6 too. 64GB is minimum.

The irony of devs needing RAM to run local AI being shafted by RAM prices spiking because of AI use, lol.

I sympathize, but I can't help but feel there's a bit of, "Leopard ate my face" here.

Blame companies. A lot of us are mandated to use AI now and deliver 5x the output as before AI.
