It’s kind of crazy but the shitstorm of supply chain issues has created a new best-in-class local AI deployment: M5 Max MacBook clusters.- The memory unit economics are great - each MacBook has 128GB @ 614GB/s for $5k- M5 Max added tensor cores (Apple Neural Accelerators) with… https://t.co/f8STQ0tLZs pic.twitter.com/FLm3oOnyEl— Alex Cheema (@alexocheema) May 14, 2026

Qwen 3.5 27B getting 18.5 tok/s on Mac Mini with external 7900XTX. It should be able to be 3x faster than this with work, SSM stuff is still in PR. Hopefully Mac eGPU support brings in devs. pic.twitter.com/2aMkUpXY1S— the tiny corp (@__tinygrad__) April 1, 2026

I told y’all this is the move. Heterogenous hardware is the way forward. Large cheap pools of mixed memory + specialized accelerators (Nvidia GPUs, DGX Spark, Cerebras wafers) The next year will be dominated by solutions that split the stack. - 3000$ for a used Mac Studio… https://t.co/zMlScSnJ0X— 0xSero (@0xSero) April 1, 2026
NVIDIA DGX Spark In-Depth Review: A New Standard for Local AI Inference
Thanks to NVIDIA’s early access program, we are thrilled to get our hands on the NVIDIA DGX™ Spark. It’s quite an unconventional system, as NVIDIA rarely releases compact, all-in-one machines that bri...
