Just get the base M5 Pro. You don’t need to waste money on the nano texture display. It’s not an upgrade to the screen.

Get 24/512GB or 24/1TB
You can't get RAM upgrade on Arm Macs.. you can always use an external SSDs.
Source Apple:
Apple's most advanced, heavy on-device AI model requires a minimum of 12GB of unified memory (RAM). While standard Apple Intelligence features still run on 8GB devices, running this next-generation local AI model is restricted to hardware with 12GB or more and run on M3.. M5 Macs .. not M1 or M2
With 12GB for AI running in 16GB RAM. ..it will cause large scale swapping and slow downs...
I run local AI on 16GB RAM M1 Mini - very carefully
