I saw https://gist.github.com/greenstevester/fc49b4e60a4fef9effc79066c1033ae5 pop up online today. Unified memory is very important if you want to run #Ollama on a Mac. The more memory you have, the better the model you can run. A Mac Mini with 64 GB of memory is $2,109, while a Mac Studio with 128 GB of memory is $3,149. It takes 16–18 weeks to receive the Mac Mini, whereas the Mac Studio takes 4–5 months.

I kind of want to get a Mac Studio to do this sort of thing, but I don't have $3k sitting around, and even if I did, it would take half a year to get it.
