Spent some time on this today and wanted to compare notes.
I'm comparing two approaches here: keep it simple on M3 Max, or squeeze more out of the stack and deal with the complexity.
Interested in tradeoffs more than fan loyalty.
My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.
The part that surprised me was how much the boring details mattered more than the model choice.
