If the rumors about splitting CPU/GPU in new Macs are true, your MacStudio will be the last one capable of running DeepSeek R1 671B Q4. It looks like Apple had an accidental winner that will go away with the end of unified RAM.
Seems Apple is waking up to the fact that if it's too easy to run weights locally, there really isn't much sense to having their own remote inference endpoints, so time to stop the party :)
No, I think Apple been clear from the beginning that they won't be able to do everything on the devices themselves, that's why they're building the infrastructure/software for their "cloud intelligence system" or whatever they call it.
