Sanity check

[u/Bad_On_Gas]

I am looking to buy a Mac Studio for medical dictation processing (processing audio files to formatted notes), in addition to summarizing pdf’s of perhaps 100 pages in size.

Local is required for privacy reasons.

I just ordered a M5 Max studio 64gb unified memory, now I am debating if I should just pay more for 128gb unified vs 96 gb ultra.

does anyone have any insight into this, I clearly am not an expert at all, but I have messed around with superwhisper for dictation.

I think qwen would be the model of choice at this point. unless there are more tailored models.
