What would be silly is running a 192 GB ML model on a chip that slow. In practically every case you would be better off with a multi-GPU PC or a cloud GPU instance, simply because the performance gap is so enormously massive. You can buy a whole lot of cloud GPU hours for the price of 192 GB in a Mac, especially when you consider that you don't have to pay extra for the electricity and you don't need the very latest chips to far outperform Apple's best.
