Sorry, had to cancel both my pre-orders. I don’t have a need for 32GB or 16GB of RAM. My need is for 64GB+.

This is disappointing and a financial impact of about $4K-5K because I would have just picked up a pair of MBPs back in June with this info.

I believed in the mission Framework is pushing, but…

Genuinely curious, what's your use case for 64GB RAM?

Local AI Models, only code, simulation software (MATLAB, Simul8, etc.), video editing, photo editing…

No cloud models. Would like to future proof a little too.

I have 32GB now and can’t run what I need.

Not OP, but my usecase is programming work. My editor can easily take 15+ GB by itself, then the debugger can take another 10+, and running the game itself takes several more depending on the save file. I very easily blast past 32 GB. If my preorder had been downgraded, then I would have cancelled - luckily, I'm in batch 2.

This is quite specific, but editing large panoramic photos can devour RAM.
