The M4 Mac: Worth the Upgrade? (Mini-Episode)

Comparing M3 vs M4 performance, unified memory architecture, and the future of local AI models

Join Matt and Seve for a mini-episode diving into Apple's latest M4 chip and its implications for developers! 🍎

In this tech-packed discussion, our founders explore:

* Real-world performance comparisons between M3 and M4 Macs

* The significance of Apple's unified memory architecture and its advantages

* How Docker and iOS development push the limits of current MacBooks

* The future potential of running AI models locally on Apple Silicon

* The evolution of ARM-based computing and competitors' attempts to catch up

Matt and Seve share their personal experiences transitioning from M1 to M3 MacBooks, discussing RAM limitations, port configurations, and real-world development challenges. The conversation takes an interesting turn as they speculate about the M6 generation's potential for running serious AI models locally, and debate whether specialized, domain-specific AI models might make local deployment more feasible. 💻
