Users in the replies praise the demo of running a 1.6 trillion parameter DeepSeek model on a MacBook M5 Max via SSD because it shows frontier models can now fit on consumer devices and reduces reliance on centralized APIs.

1. It is slow, obviously, but not unusably slow if for some reason I'm cut out of frontier AI.
2. The goal here was to make this working slow but optimize it enough to have Flash good enough on 64GB systems. I'll ask somebody to check what performances it reaches. I don't have a 64GB machine.
