Apple is reportedly developing Harbor, a Mac app intended to turn Macs into private servers for running open-weight AI models locally. 9to5Mac says the app could also link multiple Macs over Thunderbolt 5 to pool their unified memory for larger models.
Why it mattersThe report says Harbor is in private preview under Apple’s Claris brand. That would make it easier to run some models on your own machines, rather than sending prompts to a cloud service, though the reported features and preview status are not an announced public release.
Discuss: If Harbor arrives as described, would you trust a cluster of Macs with local AI workloads, or is a cloud service still the more practical choice?
