box ~ volume of shoebox, only more cubical - the form-factor of all Mac Studio variants M1 - M4, only in all cases, Pro, Max, and Ultra where Max is better than Pro in terms of Cores / Speed / Memory, and Ultra is two Max chips 'sewn' together, but, as in alas, M4 has no Ultra edition
M4 Max is the way to go for everyday use M3 Ultra is for CPU / GPU / Cores-intensive use-cases
cannot hear fan at all, and positioned at base of box box is cold at the moment, and only expected to go higher temp, say 40 C, when actually calculating
Very heavy and highly dense, not exactly gold, but yeah, heavy
should draw no more than 200 watts, equivalent to 2 traditional useful light bulbs but only for tens of seconds inferencing / responding, as opposed to learning, and the internal heatsink / fan dissipation should do okay, am explicitly told can cluster up to five boxes using Exo software and really cook, and even when so, would not be bad in temperature, only much nastier in speed
Apple did not intend the Studio boxes for AI, only really for film editing, but happily, coincidentally, AI use-case perfect.
Am doing as I learn-along by articles and VLOGs ... all tabled by people who are either completely mad by the look of their looks, or otherwise recognizably passionate, but in both cases definitely knowledgeable
DeepSeek's open-sourcing saved many wanting souls from monsieur Sam Altman of Open AI / ChatGPT, and monsters that be GOOG, MSFT, ...
Now Team Trump is trying to limit sale of Huawei chips that are tuned for DeepSeek; good luck.
This is a good time to learn-along before the diffusion go go-go-go
