Apple introduced the M6 chip for the new Mac mini and the M5 Ultra chip for the new Mac Studio to improve on-device AI model performance. The Mac Studio with the M5 Ultra can use up to 512GB of unified memory. The lineup shifts toward running larger local AI models on consumer hardware, with Mac mini targeting mid-sized models and Mac Studio targeting several-hundred-billion-parameter models.

Apple released refreshed Mac mini and Mac Studio desktop computers aimed at running local AI development workloads. The Mac mini with M6 starts at $899 with 16GB of memory, and preorders open today with shipping on September 22. Developers can buy these systems to shift AI coding and open-weight model use from paid cloud inference toward local compute, while also getting faster storage and faster networking options.

Apple launched new Mac Studio models using the existing M5 Max and a new M5 Ultra chip inside the same small chassis as earlier generations. The updated M5 Max Mac Studio includes 36GB of unified memory. As a result, the Mac Studio line is brought back under a single chip generation after a prior split between different Studio chip families.

Apple announced an M6 chip for Macs alongside an M5 Ultra aimed at compute-heavy workloads like 3D rendering and running frontier AI models. The M6 is Apple's first 2nm chip and adds a Dual 16-core Neural Engine for on-device AI. With the updated 12-core CPU (including two super cores and a mixed performance/efficiency core layout), Macs can run more AI workloads locally with improved performance and power efficiency.
