I should have bought a 100 m4 mac minis when I had the chance. Thanks hyperscalers for buying all the supply and renting it back.

A m4 mac mini is better than al of these per dollar, msrp adjusted.

Hopefully by the end of the decade China figures out manufacturing at scale and fixes this.

How much ram would each of those have 100 had?

16gb unified

Aren't you kind of stuck with smaller models on the mini though? Even with the pro you'd be stuck with a max of four daisy chained over thunderbolt and with the 160 gig memory bandwidth you'd probably be far better off with other configurations.

They can be connected to share ram and processing.

Depending on the use case for known processes the LLM requirements are much, much, simpler and lower to make and keep it more predictable.

I really haven't seen any 16gb Mac Mini cluster setups running large models at any appreciable speed for the reasons previously provided. Do you happen to have examples that folks are actually using?

Neat.. Roughly.. 1.6 TB of RAM? Was there a view of how you say that being allocated and split up or was there spare capacity too?
