Apple's marketing video posted by Joz, includes the 4 x M5 Ultra clustered solution. The cluster has 2TB unified memory @ 4.8TB/s. "Run trillion parameter frontier models locally" https://t.co/qqmXMr3H4X

Clustering has also featured on Apple’s mac studio and mac mini product pages. https://t.co/rKRTIAqKZQ

Why it matters

Local for trillion-parameter models now has a vendor-blessed hardware path: 2TB of unified memory at 4.8TB/s across four clustered Macs, changing what you can run without an API bill or a datacenter.
