Users on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA are discussing the challenges of running large language models (LLMs) on MacBooks with unified memory. While unified memory allows for loading massive models, it generates significant heat, causing MacBooks to reach temperatures of 100°C. This raises questions about whether users are running these models continuously or primarily for benchmarking purposes. The discussion also touches on finding smaller models suitable for constant operation on laptops for tasks like to-do list and calendar management. AI
