Thanks! I was honestly casually trying it out on the side with Claude's help. And I was actually pleasantly surprised to see how good the result was.

Still blows my mind I can do all this from my 2021 MBP.

I'll try to do a post once I have the next steps working (helping with planning and editing videos with Davinci Resolve).

I also have a 64GB M1 Max and am similarly impressed with what that workhorse can do. The M5 tempted me -- a lot -- but then I looked at what I was already getting done on that machine and just couldn't justify it ... yet. Someday, surely, but not yet. Gemma4 gave all my local projects new life, just like what you did here.

Great job. Long live the M1 Max!

Although knowing how good these local models are getting, I am now eyeing the upcoming M5 Ultra Mac Studio (256gigs perhaps). But knowing how crazy the market is, it might be a year before I get the chance to get my hands on it. If it even launches by WWDC.
