Command-line tool quickly removes Apple Intelligence from macOS 27

Ars Technica 1 week ago 6 ● 3 sources

RemoveMacAI was released as a command-line tool to let macOS 27 users disable Apple Intelligence in a fully reversible way. The models use about 12GB of storage, and can exceed 30GB depending on what’s installed. With no built-in toggle in macOS 27 Golden Gate, users now have a simpler method to remove the AI model files and reclaim disk space.

Free Tool Strips Apple Intelligence From Macs and Frees Up 12GB

Trending Topics 1 week ago 29 ● 3 sources

RemoveMacAI removes Apple Intelligence models from Macs on macOS 27, so users who do not use Apple’s AI don’t have to keep the downloaded models. It can free up about 12GB of storage by deleting those models. Disabling individual features no longer prevents the models from occupying disk space, but after running the tool those features and related services stop working and the storage is reclaimed until macOS downloads the models again.

An open-source tool lets you delete 12GB of Apple Intelligence data on macOS

The Verge 1 week ago 27 ● 3 sources

RemoveMacAI, a new open-source command-line tool for macOS, removes locally stored Apple Intelligence assets and turns off Apple Intelligence features. It deletes about 12GB of Apple Intelligence data. Since macOS 27 removed the single Settings toggle, the tool replaces it by handling roughly a dozen related settings (including ones under Screen Time) to reclaim storage.
