Community to discuss about Llama, the family of large language models created by Meta AI.

Seems like M3 Max is best suited for Large Language Model training. With 128 gb unified memory essential let us train models on billions of parameters! Pretty interesting.

You probably need to wait for the Mac Studio refresh announcements for something more clearly relevant to LLM devs. Hopefully those will have 256GB or more unified memory configs, but likely something for 2024.

That said, it's handy to be able to run inference on a q8 70b model on your local dev box, so the 96GB & 128GBs are interesting for that.
