In this video, I discuss why the M6 Mac mini is being purchased specifically for AI workloads and explain where the newer hardware actually makes a difference. While both machines are perfectly capable of using cloud-based tools like ChatGPT and Claude, the M6 is a much bigger st

    Wow. As a non programmer who is really getting into AI, you answered so many of my newbie questions that I was too embarrassed to ask, or didn’t even know how to frame! Your supporting visuals in this video were particularly helpful. I took a screen capture of every slide! 🤪 Thanks so much. Top notch content 👏🤝🙏

    What a great overview! Your analysis and ability to communicate said analysis is top notch. Those graphics are too good to spend so little time on screen. I was pausing all the way through the video to take them in! I hope that doesn’t negatively impact the algorithm! Well done on this video.

    Well done! I’ve watched a lot of videos on choosing the right model and specs for entry-level local AI and this is one of the best. 👏🏼
    A follow-up video on where the M5 Pro Mac mini can fit in between the M6 and a Mac Studio in terms of increased unified memory capacity and bandwidth would be awesome.

    Welcome back, Geoff. Saw you chatting on Clifton's stream the other day. Just wanted to offer my condolences to you and the family. Glad you see you back! I had a technical question about your setup, but I'll save it for another time.

    Given the insane chip speeds of the current M line, the difference between the 4,5, or 6 matters less than having the right amount of RAM and bandwidth for running AI local. Buy as much of those two things as you can for better performance.

    I purchased my M6 mini for local ia experimentation. I ordered mine with 32GB Ram and 1TB ssd. I am hoping that it will be semi future-proof for at least 4 years. For none ia applications like video editing, it’s faster than my outgoing MacBook Air M4!
    Cheers!
