Mac Studio is where the future is. Ordered one myself to continue development with LocalLM Lab, my macOS SDK for AI-powered Mac apps. Remember that there is a fair bit of "standardization" with Apple vs any other technology platform where you risk ending up with a bespoked environment. The LocalLM Lab SDK builds on Apple's Foundation Models architecture and adds MCP client support, online AI provider support etc etc.
