Should I buy MBA M5 24GB 512gb SSD or base variant for engineering and Al/ML?

So the thing is I am an engineering student and I'm confused about which version I should buy....

But the thing is I'm thinking of buying the 24 gb ram and 512 GB SSD variant as I have a 128gb which I used with my ssd to usb c converter which works with my current laptop....Like I'm interested in Artificial intelligence and machine learning and i plan to locally run some models in my laptop and for heavy and basic model training purposes I'll probably use kaggle, colab or even AWS.... But I also want future proof my system like I know macbooks have these things called compression and swap... Like it can compress as much memory as it can to give the best performance but I'm thinking as the ram pricing is high so I should give a bit of that apple tax for 24 gigs of ram to futureproof my device or would it be just a waste of money....

I'll probably buy it in the back to school offer...

And the 24 gb ram and 512 GB SSD variant is nowhere available on online stores like Amazon, croma, vijay sales etc.....

And which would be the best deal for me as a student.....
