Modular's MAX models now run on Apple silicon GPUs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Modular has announced that its MAX models can now run on Apple silicon GPUs, including M1 through M5 chips. This update allows for the execution of various text, vision, and image diffusion models directly on Mac devices. While performance is best on M5 systems due to dedicated Neural Accelerators, the company is continuously working to improve model coverage and performance across all Apple silicon generations. AI

IMPACT Enables broader accessibility of AI models on consumer hardware, potentially increasing local AI inference capabilities.

RANK_REASON This is a software update enabling existing models to run on new hardware, rather than a new model release or significant research breakthrough.
