Apple reportedly developing scalable local AI inference technology

Apple is reportedly developing technology to enable scalable local AI model inference, which would allow users to run larger models without requiring extremely high-end hardware. This approach would involve clustering multiple machines together to achieve the necessary computational power. The development is seen as exciting for users who prefer to run models locally. AI

IMPACT Could enable wider adoption of local AI models by reducing hardware requirements.
