Apple's cheapest Mac ever packs the A18 Pro iPhone chip with a 16-core Neural Engine - but its 60 GB/s memory bandwidth puts a hard ceiling on what local models you can actually run.

Apple has asked Google to host next-gen Siri on its cloud servers after Private Cloud Compute hit just 10 percent utilization, with some servers still sitting in warehouses.

Apple launches M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros with Neural Accelerators in every GPU core, 128GB unified memory, and 614GB/s bandwidth - enough to run Llama 70B on a laptop.

A developer cracked Apple's undocumented ANE private APIs, measured its real throughput at 19 TFLOPS FP16 (not the marketed 38 TOPS), and trained a 109M-parameter transformer on hardware Apple designed exclusively for inference.

Apple plans to unveil Core AI at WWDC 2026, a modernized framework replacing Core ML that opens the door to third-party AI models and MCP integration across its entire ecosystem.
