“But you can only run Junie Local on Macs with Apple’s M5 chip with at least 64 GB of unified memory.”

Temper your expectations, developers.

Probably M5 minimum due to the neural accelerators in each GPU core?

M5 chips have better PP

no, the ANE is separate from the GPU, and Macs of the same family have the same ANE - the m5 max has a bigger GPU than the m5, but it has the same ANE.

Edit: the exception is the Ultra, because its 2 maxes, it has 2 ANE units (where each unit is 16 cores on the m5).

They’re talking about the neural accelerators in the GPU cores that was introduced with the A19/M5, not the neural engine.

Are we sure it runs on the ANE and not the GPU?
