I am considering finally upgrading to a new computer - most likely an M4 Mac with the primary goal of running coding assistants and training my own models locally.<p>Is this a good idea? Have you tried it? How's the performance?<p>Thank you!
I do this. Ollama makes it very easy - just pull the model you want. The great thing is the ability to test them in the same tasks, there's a huge difference in comparable models.<p>You can set it up in your editor of choice - I use Zed, and it's just listed as one of the providers you can choose.<p>In terms of performance - it works decently well.
Cool idea, however when I have to create an account for a service just to test it out, I will naturally decline to do so. Maybe you could upload a sample document for people to play with?
