Likewise. I have a huge demand personally to run AI noise-filtering models on many TB per month of raw video files. It takes about 3 days per file.

Apples ProRes codec is only licensed to run in high quality mode on a Mac, and so my Nvidia PC can’t do what I need. Thus, I own the beefiest Mac Studio you can currently buy. I would pay more for more TFlops.

I have done local LLM on there but it wasn’t interesting. Far worse performance and intelligence per dollar than the cloud boys.

There is no cloud offering for my video needs though.
