Apple clusters Macs' GPU power for large AI tasks

Apple is rolling out an approach that lets multiple macOS devices combine their GPU resources to handle large AI workloads, turning scattered Macs into a shared computing swarm. The Register reports the technique pools distributed Mac hardware, nicknamed 'Mac Minions', so heavy machine-learning tasks no longer depend on a single machine. Commenters are weighing in on what this means for running big models without dedicated data-center gear.
Why now: The idea of ordinary Macs collectively powering large AI jobs is a notable shift in how distributed machine learning could be run.
