Which Mac Studio should I get for local AI?

Memory matters most, because it decides which models fit. The Mac Studio M5 Ultra (80-core GPU) 256GB (A$11,449) has the most memory of the configs we price, with 192 GB usable for models by default. It holds models up to Qwen3.8 Flash-Next (MoE) at 4-bit. If you only run small models, the cheapest config is fine.

Are Apple's prices the full price?

Apple AU prices are the “From” price for each base configuration. Memory and storage upgrades cost extra, and some AU retailers sell the same configs, sometimes for less.
