An M5 pro max with 128gb of RAM is $5200 so I’d expect some kind of price in that range.
I imagine it’s for AI researchers, professionals who work with models. Software engineers who want local models instead of cloud models.
To be honest, I don’t think it’ll be very popular with those demographics. But I think a company like Microsoft investing in local AI is a good thing.
Look to be disappointed Microsoft is all in on Copilot AI after having spent billions of dollars. It is boom or bust for Satya Nadella.
