This does not appear to be the case with os27 (reddit)
You lose disk space and more importantly control. At this point, this is not something I would trust and would create an even greater headache in terms of security and backup.
Plus running LLM’s locally will create heat spikes and faster battery depletion shortening the life cycle of your battery. And LLMs needing more disk space will make you have to pay more for extra space that is already at a premium in terms of cost.
All-in-all AI is going to require a much greater financial investment with a much shorter upgrade cycle. For me this will really warrant proper scrutiny and financial planning. I certainly do not want to; at this point; simply upgrade my mac without thinking through the consequences. Especially as I’m on an m1. I’ve possibly got till sept 2027 before sequoia is unsupported.
I also cannot imagine that I’m alone in this position. If enough people hold back upgrading and Apple sales slow, it may cause some solution to arrive. I’m also waiting to see what os27 does to the neo, especially with users losing 30GB+ of SSD due to the LLM and that the 8GB ram simply won’t be enough. Folks are going to be extremely angry if their new Neo is defunct in 18 months or severely stunted.
