Apple Subsidiary Builds Local AI Cluster
Apple subsidiary Claris has introduced Harbor, an app for running local AI models across multiple pooled Macs.
#Claris#Harbor#local LLM#Apple#Thunderbolt
š„ What happened
Claris, Apple's FileMaker subsidiary, is launching Harbor, an app for running open-weight models locally on the Mac. It can also pool multiple Macs over Thunderbolt 5 into one cluster.
š” Why it matters
Apple is now muscling into private inference, a space owned by LM Studio and Ollama. The hook: shared memory across machines lets you run models too big for any single Mac. No pricing, no launch date yet.
ā” Our take
Intriguing, but Claris won't even say whether Harbor runs on Ollama. An Apple cluster with zero technical detail is a promise, not a product.
