Summary
A machine learning practitioner is seeking advice on whether to purchase a Mac or a custom-built system with a high-end GPU (like an RTX 5090) for their projects. Their work primarily involves fine-tuning large pretrained models and building custom pipelines, often with image/video data and occasional LLM use, where VRAM is a critical factor. The user is weighing Apple's M-series capabilities against the established NVIDIA CUDA ecosystem for serious model training.
