macOS 27 requires Apple Silicon, as Apple draws down the Intel Mac era
As Apple announced last year, this year's macOS release will end support for Intel Macs. The macOS 27 Golden Gate release will require a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip inside, including the original M1 that launched in the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini back in late 2020. Intel Macs running macOS 26 Tahoe can expect security and Safari patches for about two more years after the release of macOS 27 Golden Gate.
NVIDIA's RTX Spark chip could give Windows its true Apple Silicon moment
NVIDIA's RTX Spark chip could give Windows its true Apple Silicon moment Arm CPU cores, a powerful GPU and gobs of unified RAM? That sounds familiar! There's a lot we still don't know about NVIDIA's RTX Spark AI chip — we're still waiting on deeper technical details and pricing for the first batch of systems — but it has a decent shot of changing the way we think of Windows PCs entirely.
Magenta RealTime 2: Open and Local Live Music Models
We’re excited to share Magenta RealTime 2 (MRT2), a state-of-the-art open model and efficient real-time inference engine that enables you to build and play AI musical instruments on your laptop! To get started, download the apps on your MacBook (requires Apple Silicon). Unlike other large generative music models that work offline to turn a prompt into a track, MRT2 is a live, interactive model that you can control with MIDI and audio, in addition to text.
Apple to make AI software push at upcoming Silicon Valley conference
The tech giant is expected to launch new AI integration into its software and changes to the voice assistant, Siri. Apple will be setting its artificial intelligence (AI) agenda at its annual developers conference this week. The Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), an information technology conference held annually both online and on-location in Apple Park, regularly focuses on software updates.
Reminder: macOS 27 won't work on Intel Macs
Reminder: macOS 27 won't work on Intel Macs You’ll need to be running Apple silicon to use the latest operating system. If today's WWDC announcements about new Siri and Apple Intelligence coming to macOS have you intrigued, be sure to check your specs before getting too hyped about the beta releases. macOS 27 Golden Gate, which Apple announced with a pastiche of groovy hippie vibes during today's keynote, will not run on any Macs out there still sporting the old Intel chips that powered the...
How US immigration policy change may 'trouble' Apple, Google, OpenAI & other tech giants
The AI race between the US and China has entered a new phase, shifting from a battle over microchips to a war for top artificial intelligence (AI) talent. Tightening US immigration policies appears to be stinging Silicon Valley as top American tech giants, including Apple, Google, OpenAI and Microsoft, face a trend of brilliant Chinese scientists increasingly opting to return home, taking Washington’s ambitious AI visions back to Beijing. For years, American tech hubs held a massive...
MacArena: Benchmarking Computer Use Agents on an Online macOS Environment
arXiv:2606.06560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents (CUAs) operate graphical user interfaces (GUIs) through vision and control primitives, and their capabilities have advanced rapidly, driven in part by standardized online evaluation benchmarks such as OSWorld, which serve both as evaluation tools and as training environments for reinforcement learning. However, macOS remains underserved in this landscape: the only existing benchmark, macOSWorld, covers a narrow slice of...
1-Bit Bonsai Image 4B Image Generation for Local Devices
Introducing 1-bit and Ternary Bonsai Image 4B: Image Generation for Local Devices Today we’re releasing Bonsai Image 4B, a family of compact image-generation models designed to run high-quality diffusion inference on local hardware: from laptops to phones. Bonsai Image 4B comes in two variants: - 1-bit Bonsai Image 4B uses binary {−1, +1} transformer weights with an FP16 group-wise scaling factor, giving 1.125 effective bits per weight. It targets maximum compression and is the right fit...
