for the on-device model, yes it runs on the Neural Engine (at the moment) so a newer chip means faster, cheaper local inference. For the server side path this Claude package is about your machine is irrelevant since it's a network call. The same API covers both, so "best machine for AI" only bites when the session is actually local.

But we can imagine that the balance of what's on-device vs what's remote will move continuously towards the former as time, improved HW and improved local models keep progressing

it's cloud, the doc is explicit that requests go straight to api.anthropic.com with Apple not in the way.

so Claude via FM dies offline while Apple's on-device SystemLanguageModel (the ~3B one) keeps working. It isn't a hybrid really: the framework just has both implement the same LanguageModelSession protocol so "local 3B" and "remote frontier model" become a one-argument swap.

IMHO what's worth internalising is that the two share an API but nothing else: the on-device path runs on Apple's Neural Engine and costs battery (you can watch ANE power ramp while it works) while the cloud path costs API credits/tokens and does zero local compute. Same code, opposite cost model.

On-device AI is a margin decision

New comment by ABS in "Apple Core AI Framework"

something I haven't seen highlighted anywhere yet, while I find it very interesting, is the distributed inference across Macs (JACCL over Thunderbolt 5), an OpenAI-compatible mlx_lm.server, agentic-on-Mac.

Apple keeps MLX (bring-your-own-weights) separate from Foundation Models / Core AI.

looks to me like the docs don't give a feature-parity table, but they do draw the "role" lines once you read across them:

- Core ML narrows to classic, non-neural ML (its own docs now point you there for "decision trees or tabular feature engineering")

- Core AI takes neural nets and transformers (the new .aimodel format, the new profiler)

- MLX stays the separate bring-your-own-weights track (its WWDC sessions draw no line back to Core AI at all)

coreai-opt is the successor to coremltools on the optimization side.

New comment by ABS in "Apples to Apples: MLX vs. Llama.cpp for Gemma 4 12B on an M1 16GB"

ABS — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:43:40 +0000

lol, it took me 48 hours to do (and re-do, and re-do) this test + write it up and now that I convinced myself to stop changing bits and just publish it... Google's just announced the Gemma 4 QAT models :-D

It would not change the core of my article since the bottleneck remains the memory bandwidth on the old M1 16GB though
