A user on the LocalLLaMA forum is seeking advice on choosing the best platform for LLM inference in a production environment.

Request Details

The user is comparing a Mac Studio with an M4 Max chip (128 GB RAM) and a GMKtec EVO-X2 AI mini PC equipped with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor (also with 128 GB RAM). In addition to inference speed, the user requires the ability to occasionally perform small fine-tuning jobs.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs between performance, TCO, and compliance requirements. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
