Have been working on creating couple of iOS apps over last few weeks using @bot

Created this bot from all my learnings.
It designs, builds, and ships native Swift/SwiftUI apps end to end: Mac build and test, install on iPhone, in-app purchases, store listing, and App Review.

Try it here: https://t.co/mxEzdB5oI0

@chessxyz How do you plan to use grok bot as a main gateway?
I also have mac studio 256GB on order and plan to run local models there but i do like grok bot and thinking of keeping that. Trying to see how to have grok bot use local modela and use grok could model for difficult tasks

@itskyleconner So true. I have 2 Tesla vehicles and close to 10 keycards now.
They are cheap so instead of putting an effort in finding the one you lost, you order a new one.

@ivanfioravanti @eigenlabs @darkbloomai I will put 256GB M5 ultra on darkbloom once it arrives next week

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink TBH, this is not great strategy.
Nobody loves unpredictable pricing when you have no control over it.

Even @elonmusk agrees price of 512 GB Mac Studio is crazy 😀

@Austen Makes a Tesla seem quite affordable!

@mrbenjaminhoppe Try doing “checkout with apple pay” 😀

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@Blackwellboy @rickmanelius With the price they are charging for 256GB -> 512GB upgrade, having 2x 256GB machines is the way to go and its a bit cheaper and lot more flexible.

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@CTOAdvisor I am with you brother.
The price for 256GB -> 512GB upgrade stunned me.
Cheaper to buy a second 256GB machine.
How is building a full machine cheaper for Apple than putting extra memory in one ?

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

Crazy that apple hasn’t optimized the apple store app for duo while they are releasing so many new products this week:

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

Wouldn’t say absolutely nuke with RDMA+MLX but it’s definitely worse.

If 512GB version was $15-18k range, it would have been a no brainer but with it costing more than 2x 256GB machines, i think you really need to weight pros and cons and your actual use case.

If you are mostly running multiple models that would each fit 256GB, better to buy 2 machines and you can still cluster those for times you need to run bigger models. With 2 machines you do get better pre-fill performance along with 2x cpu/gpu cores and storage.

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@semisauced @gasnamaka23913 @digitalix You can still cluster two 256GB machines for the occasions where you need to run a model which wont’t fit in 256GB but will fit in 512GB.

Two machines also give you 2x the storage, 2x CPU and GPU cores while costing less.

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@GPTWare Exactly my thoughts.
I think Apple priced it this way to steer people away from it due to memory constraints.

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@cybrtrkguy Touchscreen - No, don’t care for it.
Tandem OLED display, lighter and light up apple logo - Count me in

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@Teslaconomics $7k for 64GB memory is a bit too much but i get the appeal and want one too.
I did order 256GB mac studio with 256GB memory for $11k so i am all tapped out for now.

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@ivanfioravanti @nickreese +1

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@0xkydo I think the price will push more people to buy 256GB version and push out its date even further.

Buying 2x 256GB machines is cheaper than one 512GB.

[Charge Bite @chargebite_]

@Spangler3000 Exactly, you get 2x the storage, 2x CPU & GPU cores, extra flexibility among many other things.
On top of that its cheaper this way. Not sure why Apple priced 256GB -> 512GB upgrade so high.
