Apple is positioning upgraded Mac Minis and Mac Studios as local AI machines for companies that want to run demanding workloads without paying metered cloud-computing fees, Reuters reported on September 22.

The company demonstrated multiple Mac Studios working together on a trillion-parameter model and emphasized its unified-memory architecture and power efficiency.

Apple still has a small share of the enterprise computer market compared with Windows, but the company is betting that AI workloads will create a new opening for high-performance Macs.
