Apple's new Mac Studio with M3 Ultra chip can run large AI models locally when equipped with 512GB of memory. The system efficiently handles a 671 billion parameter DeepSeek R1 model, delivering 17-18 tokens per second while consuming under 200 watts of power. This capability offers privacy advantages for sensitive applications like healthcare data analysis.
