OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly purchasing tens of thousands of Mac Minis and Mac Studios for AI training, specifically for developing computer-use agents capable of multi-step tasks. This surge in demand has significantly boosted Apple's Mac sales, making it their fastest-growing business segment. The M-series chips' unified memory architecture and robust cooling systems offer advantages over traditional NVIDIA GPUs and Google TPUs for certain AI workloads, particularly in local, on-premises training scenarios. Apple is also promoting its hardware for AI cluster capabilities and is exploring partnerships to further penetrate the enterprise AI market, though supply chain issues have created challenges. AI
