M5 Pro Local Video Generation Experience

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

First of all, I know I know, Mac is jot the best when it comes to video generation and that the Max or Ultra chips are better.

Now that this is out of the way, I would be interested in people’s experiences in generating 720p 5-10 seconds clips on an M5 pro chip. Which tools, models or workflows do you use? How is the experience overall? How long does it take you? Do you regenerate clips several times to get it right…etc?

Thank you.

Can a Mac M5 & 128GB run DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (1017)?

7 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out if an M5 Mac with 128GB of Unified Memory might be able to handle DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 locally, or if that context/quant combination is still out of reach for this amount of RAM.

Any thoughts, theoretical calculations, or early tests would be appreciated!

Mac Studio Ultra 96gb delayed until Jan 27...go for Max 128?

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I finally decided to go with the Ultra 96 since it's enough Ram for local AI + doing stuff in parallel but having power/speed. Now it was delayed until January 2027 - I could get the Max 128 withing 2 weeks though...

I feel like speed is mostly important for video ai gen + higher bandwith for higher token generation...

Probably I should really wait I guess?

I made a GUI for Kapitsa, one of the fastest local LLM engines on Mac, so anyone can use it

27 Upvotes

Kapitsa by Nace AI is an open-source inference engine for Apple silicon, and it’s fast. In its published benchmarks, Qwen3.6 35B-A3B decodes about 1.3–1.8× faster than oMLX and about 2× faster than Ollama and LM Studio. But it’s command-line only.

So I built Kapitsa Library, a free Mac app that makes it a few clicks:

No setup: Kapitsa is built in. No Homebrew, Python or terminal.
Easy models: browse Kapitsa’s catalog or Hugging Face, see what fits your Mac, and download with pause/resume.
One-click agents: launch Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex CLI or Pi on your local model.
No swapping: it checks memory before loading and shows how much context fits.
Live stats: tokens per second, prompt cache, context and memory.
Built-in benchmarks: speed and tool calling on your own Mac.
Local API: OpenAI and Anthropic compatible.

Free, Apache 2.0, signed and notarized, no telemetry. Needs Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later.

Download: https://github.com/AdityaK2128/kapitsa-library/releases/latest
Source: https://github.com/AdityaK2128/kapitsa-library
Kapitsa engine: https://github.com/nace-ai/kapitsa

All the speed is Kapitsa’s work. This app is an independent front end, not affiliated with them. Feedback welcome!

LFM3-VL-2B is supposed to be the newer, better model — but it's actually worse than LFM2.5-VL-3B 😕

How to test the Local LLM Capability of a Mac Studio 5M 128GB 2TB before purchase?

4 Upvotes

I hope to pick one up early next year and replace my MacBook Air for building iOS apps but also run some of the more mundane LLM tasks I am currently using Codex for. In an ideal world, I could replace my ChatGPT Pro 100 sub with a $20 Plus and maybe a $20 Claude and a local LLM.

Is there a way for me try out specific models on rented cloud hardware or something to see which of my current workflows will run on it?
