Thanks! I have two mac minis: one with 8 gb and the other with 24 gb (left with 17 gb useable ram); I can't run any open model on them. So, ordered a Mac 5 pro with 128 GB. Can't wait for its arrival.
You will be able to run some pretty impressive models locally. Good for you.
Some people here have 640 GB of RAM https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49621754
