 | Looks like Apple has quietly killed off the higher-memory Mac Studio options. The M3 Ultra Mac Studio is now only available with 96GB RAM. The 512GB option was already removed back in March, and now the 256GB config is gone too. Apple has said both the Mac Studio and Mac mini will stay supply-constrained for the next few months. The Mac mini is also stuck at 48GB RAM max for now. Probably their high-memory chip stock got too expensive to keep producing. This is a real bummer for us! Big unified memory configs were one of the few (relatively) affordable ways to run large models locally. I am glad I own the M3 Utlra 512, will definitely keep this on (my favorite local model is Qwen 397b atm). [link] [comments] |
