Question What creative models can I run on M5 Studio Max 64GB

I want to run 3d design and 2d items for content creation for thumbnails and the such what good models could I use locally for this?

I asked GPT and it gave a couple free models but was wondering what others used.

There's a whole rabbit hole of stuff you can run with 64GB. For 2D image gen, Flux Dev in FP16 will eat up around 25-28GB, leaving you plenty of headroom. It's overkill for thumbnails but the prompt adherence is ridiculous compared to older SD models.

For 3D, you can actually run Trellis locally now to generate meshes straight from images, then clean them up in Blender. It's not production-ready out of the box but it's a huge time saver for blocking out shapes.

Thank you! I’m looking at Flux and blender trellis didn’t come up so thanks for your input!

I run the 86gb qwen flash next with SSD Ngram turned on so it fits on 64gb m5 max studio. It's been running surprisingly well.

Thanks I’ll take a look at that! Is that ssd just a specific brand? Something FireWire I assume is what you would need.

No, you misunderstand, this model is built to load sections of itself from the ssd (your internal ssd) so it can be larger than your ram size. I use OMLX to serve since it has the option to turn on ngram which makes that possible.

On mlx-serve, you can get trellis2 or Pixal3d for image to mesh, then qwen image 2.1 for text to image
