Leaker Aaron Perris has discovered evidence of a new Mac app in the works at Apple called Harbor, which makes it easy to run local AI models across one or more Macs.
The Mac has been getting a lot more popular this year, both because of budget-friendly options like MacBook Neo but also as a tool for running AI models locally on Mac Studio, Mac mini, and more.
It seems Apple plans to lean harder into the latter use case, as leaker Aaron Perris has discovered a new Mac app called Harbor that’s been designed to turn your Mac into a private AI inference server.
Harbor turns your Mac into a private AI inference server. Run open-weight models locally on Apple silicon—your data never leaves your hardware, and nothing reaches the cloud. Connect multiple Mac computers over Thunderbolt 5 to pool unified memory, enabling large models and higher concurrency that a single computer can handle alone.
