I've been on Claude Code daily for a while and want to see how far local models can do my setup: - MacBook Pro M4 (16"), 48GB - macOS 26 tahoe Usually i do: seo researches, macos swift apps, websites) What I'm trying to figure out: Which the best model to use on my mac? MLX vs llama.cpp(wtf?), LM Studio vs Atomic Chat? Opencode? What tokens/sec should I expect? Is it enough? How much is the cost per month if compared with Opus 4.7, max 200$? submitted by /u/Primary-Medium-895 [link] [comments.
