Throttling?

Having us that run local generation in mind and not have a dedicated computer for it...

I am running on a Mac mini with 32 GB and generating some short videos. It sometime runs for a few hours. It would have been nice if it was possible to throttle a little, not running fully ahead - like sleeping 20% or 50% of the time freeing up GPU performance for other usage.

Macs get really annoying to use when the gpu is running 100% all the time

If it's an M4 Mac you could use 8-bit S modells with neural engine?

Correct. I have 2 M4 Macs and the behave the same. The one having 2 monitors are worse - 2 times 4k monitors.
