Key Points

The post asks which “agentic coding” model users can run locally on a new 16-inch MacBook Pro with the Apple M5 Max chipset.
It lists key hardware specifications, including an 18-core CPU, a 40-core GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 128GB unified memory.
The question is framed around practical local deployment constraints—CPU/GPU/Neural Engine resources and available memory—rather than cloud or enterprise tooling.
The content is shared via a Reddit link in the r/LocalLLaMA community, suggesting the model recommendation would likely come from community experience with locally run LLMs and coding agents.
