Brief

A claim that a $20,000 cluster of four M5 Max MacBooks linked via RDMA (512GB at 2456GB/s, ~560W, quiet) delivers frontier-level intelligence quality sufficient to serve 5–12 people. The author cites Alex Cheema and challenges others to find a better, immediately purchasable deal.

Source evidence

I can confirm that if you have 20k USD this will be the best in class.

You can service 5-12 people on this setup at frontier level intelligence quality.

4 x M5 Max MacBooks clustered with RDMA:
512GB @ 2456GB/s, $20k, 560W, quiet.

Find me a better deal, that I can buy today.
