Lol he suggested a $10k Mac Studio

But you can at least resell that $10k Mac Studio, theoretically.

Even more absurd is that Mac Studio with 512GB RAM costs around $9.5K

Maybe this "backup" solution.. developed into commodity hardware as an affordable open source solution that keeps the model and code locally and private at all times is the actual solution we need.

Lets say a cluster of raspberry pi's / low powered devices producing results as good as claude 3.7-sonnet. Would it be completely infeasible to create a custom model that is trained on your own code base and might not be a fully fledged LLM but provides similar features to cursor?

Have we all gone bonkers sending our code to third parties? The code is the thing you want to keep secret unless your working on an open source project.

2000$? You wish!
