Apple Silicon

Also called: M1, M2, M3, M4, Apple M series, Apple chips

Apple's own family of chips used in Mac computers and iPads. Memory is shared between the main processor and the graphics processor, which helps when running AI models locally.

For example: A developer runs an open-weights model on a Mac laptop with Apple Silicon instead of renting a cloud GPU.
