    The decision of Power: How to decide between Windows and Mac
    Dec 18, 2023 Markus Hofstätter

    I was interested in working with AI on a local system instead of all these cloud solutions, where you often don’t know what happens with your data. My first contact with local AI solutions was pinokio, a system that automates localized AI installations. Pinokio runs lots of Python scripts locally, and I have lots of respects of these scripts, because they could do anything on your system. That’s one reason why I wanted to run them on a non productive computer of mine. The second reason is, that lots of AI models rely on Nvidias Cuda cores and wont even run on a Mac. The third reason is that I thought that I can speed up my workflow with very large scans with a system that has more ram (I was wrong on that one).
