Tim Cook hints at iCloud Plus tier for AI power users

The Verge 2 months ago 21 ● 3 sources

Apple's CEO Tim Cook indicated during an earnings call that the company plans to offer paid upgrades for increased AI usage limits through iCloud Plus. Apple will launch its Siri AI improvements with iOS 27 this fall, including a new standalone app with a ChatGPT-like interface. The move suggests Apple expects heavy demand for its AI features and aims to monetize usage beyond its standard tier.

TurboFieldfare is a Swift and Metal runtime that runs Google's Gemma 4 26B language model in approximately 2 GB of RAM on Apple Silicon Macs by streaming expert weights from SSD rather than loading the full 14.3 GB model into memory. The system achieves 5.1–6.3 tokens per second on an 8 GB M2 MacBook Air and 31–35 tokens per second on a 24 GB M5 Pro by keeping only a 1.35 GB core and KV cache resident while fetching needed experts on-demand. Users can now run a 26-billion-parameter instruction-tuned model natively on entry-level Macs through a native app, CLI, or OpenAI-compatible server.
