I am blown away: a year ago I bought a M2 32G Mac to run local models. It seems like what I can run locally now just one year later is 10x more useful for NLP, data wrangling, RAG, experimenting with agents, etc.

BTW, a few days ago I published a book on using Ollama. Here is a link to read it online https://leanpub.com/ollama/read

Which models do you recommend for that amount of memory?
