the pricing is actually the interesting part, this is clearly aimed at developers/researchers not gamers, which is a nice change of pace from nvidia lately

feels like a direct shot at the mac studio's dominance in the local-llm hobbyist space, which has been real for like 2 years now

anyone have real benchmarks yet vs just renting cloud GPU time? breakeven point matters a lot here
