Harbor

Apple is working on Harbor, a Mac app that turns a Mac into a private inference server for open-weight models and can pool several Macs over Thunderbolt 5.

Harbor lets users browse, download and run open-weight models on Apple silicon without the command line. Two or more Thunderbolt 5 Macs are detected automatically and pool their unified memory, so larger models or more concurrent requests can run. It is in private preview under Apple's Claris brand, according to a leak.
