>Also, have you noticed as top-end Mac Studios got downgraded recently? They don't want you to have access to frontier models. And you will not have it.

Isn't that a function of RAM supply not being available now?

OpenAI did buy out the RAM supply to block competition. Arguably local models are one of its (smaller) competitors.

Even if that weren't the case, every corp _needs_ you to be on a subscription.

They didn't really even buy the RAM. But there's pretty significant demand for RAM in general with data centers being planned left and right.
