   On Apple website it says 512GB memory option is available in October. I guess bumping to that one would cost additional 4-6k US$. So an Ultra with 2TB storage would be north of 15k US$.

   That’s like 12 years worth of OpenAI Pro subscriptions

      512 option isnt worth it imo, you get severe slowdowns when weights are that large. 256 is the sweet spot, you can run large open weight models at decent speeds for full private inference.

         I think most people are getting 512 for running Chrome with a bunch of tabs open. /s
