What's your current goto and why?
A follow up question, if speed is not a major concern what cost is one looking at excluding running costs for the rig?
Final comment I'd be looking for code and general insights from the AI, nothing really much further than that, Oh and possibly giving it resources i.e context.
What machines would you recommend at various price points?
For example:
$1k
$5k
$10k
$25k
Any Apple Silicon Mac with more than 16gb of ram will be the sub $1k to $4k range. This will run Qwen3.8-27b which is great.
Macbook Pro with 128gb of ram for $4k. Will be able to run DwarfStar which is my favorite.
More ram than that is currently to expensive to be worth it.
what you think about the mac studios announced today?
256gb under 10k
Qwen3.8-27b is amazing! It runs on almost anything. It’s not the fastest but it is very good. I’d recommend running it in LM Studio in developer mode as a server for opencode.
Let me know if you need help setting this up.

Do you use normal consumer computers to run the models locally?
