I am a university student researcher and currently have a $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription, which I feel is really too expensive as a fixed monthly expense. I am now thinking about whether I could purchase a Mac mini or Mac Studio with 96GB or 128GB for local deployment or to use as a server. My current research direction is computational social science, and the main thing is that the intelligence of the subscribed model can be well guaranteed. really appreciate for your opinion!   submitted by   /u/Ok-Musician2369 [link]   [comments]
