Hey now, look who just published a paper on a shared GPU cloud built from idle Macs!
@Apple researchers have built Minions, a distributed inference network already used by multiple internal teams to put idle Apple Silicon GPUs to work.
Glad to see the Mothership thinking @HeavyMetalNet thoughts: connect the machines you already have and put their available compute to work.
The paper closes with a clarion call that sounds very familiar: “If idle macOS devices across organizations—or potentially across the global community—can be securely federated, they could form a massive, shared GPU resource pool that benefits the broader ecosystem.”
Rock on! 🤘🏽

Great story about the “little guy”.

For six months, no one really noticed Culper Research’s report outlining the short-selling firm's case against Nvidia. All that changed this week. 🔗 on.wsj.com/3XlgmJN

I didn’t think anything could knock out You Can See Everything as a Twitter obsession but Jensen did it

A year ago I embarked on a new idea of connecting our computers (Macs, PCs, Linux boxes, phones…) into a decentralized AI network. Called it the Heavy Metal Network 🤘🏾
The “edge” was always there as the answer. Glad to see Apple say it out loud.
@HeavyMetalNet
Apple may have a clever new way to turn multiple Macs into one AI supercomputer. And it could make running powerful local AI models surprisingly easy.
Forget complicated Terminal commands, technical setup guides and sending your data off to some cloud-based AI service.
Apple's upcoming Harbor app reportedly lets you connect multiple Macs, automatically create an AI computing cluster, and run large language models locally. Just plug in, fire it up and start experimenting.
Your data stays on your Mac(s) instead of being shipped off to the cloud.
It's an intriguing glimpse at a future where your Mac becomes your own private AI powerhouse — no expensive cloud subscriptions required.
There's a lot more to this story, including how Harbor works and when Apple might release it.

Everyone's debating whether Jensen should resign. Nobody's asking what happens if he does. 60 direct reports, no successor. The board's problem isn't the affair. It's that the company is one person deep.
Even Steve has a succession plan.
Jensen Huang appears to have misled his own employees, investors and the public.
He should resign.
