Hi all,

I have the possibility to get a base model Mac Studio 36Gb M4 Max through work at very interesting leasing conditions that would make it worthwhile. I’m debating if it’s worth it to be able to run a local model. I’ve been using agents for a while now through Openclaw mainly, and I’m evaluating if it makes sense to switch to local models. No hardcore dev work.

Ideally, I’d like to run qwen3.6 35b or a similar performance model. Would that be feasible with the 36Gb unified ram? Any experience here?

Making tailored configs isn’t possible, it’s only the base model that’s available.

Thanks
