Crazy that 40 years ago I was running a BBS out of my bedroom using a 1200baud modem and when Wargames came out the voice box was mind blowing so I had to make one for my Apple //e and it worked! Now we have super computers in our pockets and cars that drive themselves while we have conversations with the car!

It feels ironic that stacking mac studios is the cheapest way to run frontier AI today.
But it actually makes sense. Nothing else beats the memory unit economics of Apple Silicon.
Memory and memory bandwidth (not FLOPS) is what matters for local inference. Everything runs at batch_size=1. @karpathy talked about this at his AI SUS keynote: personal computing v2 is coming.
Just look at the numbers:
M3 Ultra: $18/GB, $6.70/GB/s
DGX Spark: $36/GB, $17/GB/s
B200 (DGX): $360/GB, $8/GB/s
Memory for B200 is 20x more expensive. Memory bandwidth for DGX Spark is 2.5x more expensive.
If DeepSeek V4 is >1T parameters (as it’s rumoured to be), by far the cheapest way to run it will be Apple Silicon.
M5 Ultra will likely push this further.
NVIDIA has completely missed this segment of the market.

This isn't the right question. The question is what's the cheapest hardware that will run the largest open source models at 100+ tok/s. Something is out of alignment if it's stacks of Mac Studios, which it actually might be.

Whoa, it did it. @perplexity_ai Computer just one-shotted a ful-stack fund in a box.
Over 4,500 lines of code, and it works.
The goal was to build a system that could credibly run a small fund's core workflow with 1-2 humans vs. the current model which is 10 analysts on terminals.
I came up with the idea by asking what could I build with computer that would be more valuable than a $30,000/year Bloomberg terminal.
Here's a screenshot of the fully working web app.
More details below, in what I think my might be the world's first Perplexity Computer Thread 🧵

@morganlinton @perplexity_ai Amazing right? I built something very similar a month ago with Claud. Been wondering how long it will be before someone (you) posted something like this lol. Crazy cool right!? Congrats!

Yup, the things I have been able to do with @claudeai is unbelievable. The $200 per month subscription is so easy to justify. OpenAI feels like a toy to me now.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
They call it getting “Claude-pilled.” It’s the moment software engineers, executives and investors turn their work over to Anthropic’s Claude AI—and then witness a thinking machine of shocking capability, even in an age awash in powerful AI tools. on.wsj.com/4r0nAwl

@FelixSchlang Something similar almost happened to us for Starship 1. The crowd was going insane!

Hey @CarnivalCruise... we get it. You want to give your guests a show! That's great thinking! At the same time, you're destroying the fun for people who went there specifically to watch a launch.
Might not be the PR you're looking for. 👎

@blueorigin @davill So, uh, @CarnivalCruise...you seem to be a tad unpopular with the crowd on the jetty there... (This is just 6-secs after my first shot of the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket lifting off.)

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.
To all those who bravely served our country, thank you to you and your family for your extraordinary service. The sacrifices that all of you have made to protect our country will be honored, today and every day.

You guys, my mind is blown! @elonmusk, you have given me and many other disabled families a life changing technology. Testing #FSD brought me to happy tears tonight. I can drive my daughter around without anxiety and I am not limited to the sun setting or only driving small areas by my house. I am in awe. This is the future. This is good. Thank you. Thank you Tesla community. #Accessibility #Inclusion #visionloss #autism #independence #Tesla #technology #disabilities #FSD #AI4 #TeslaModel3 #savingup
