EXO Labs claims 4.8 TB/s memory bandwidth with Mac Studio clustering

EXO Labs has announced a new clustering solution for Mac Studios that claims to achieve an impressive 4.8 TB/s of memory bandwidth. This development challenges previous recommendations that favored single, larger memory configurations due to perceived bandwidth limitations in clustered setups. The company emphasizes that their RDMA clustering solution prioritizes low latency over raw bandwidth, potentially making clustered Mac Studios a more viable option for demanding AI workloads. AI

IMPACT This could offer a more accessible and potentially cost-effective hardware solution for running large AI models locally.

RANK_REASON This is a hardware clustering solution for consumer hardware, not a frontier model release or core AI research.
