👨🏫 Apple held its first-ever official local AI eventwhich is quietly confirmed its memory roadmap.📰 According to Alex Cheema, Apple hosted a private local AI event at Apple Park on June 23rd — Apple's first event of its kind, with Tim Cook, John Ternus and other execs speaking about on-device AI.😐 Cheema says several slides referenced 512GB and 2TB memory configurations – a strong signal Apple isn't planning to abandon high-memory options despite the ongoing DRAM shortage. He expects the M5 Ultra to ship with 512GB unified memory, with the rumored M7 Ultra reaching up to 1.5TB.🧠 He wasn't able to share the original slides, but recreated one from memory –"Enabling a full range of local AI inference":- iPhone and iPad. Up to 16GB unified memory. Up to 14 billion active parameters.- MacBook Air. Up to 32GB unified memory. Up to 35 billion active parameters.- Mac mini. Up to 64GB unified memory. Up to 70 billion active parameters.- MacBook Pro. Up to 128GB unified memory. Up to 120 billion active parameters.- Mac Studio. Up to 512GB unified memory. Up to 480 billion active parameters.- Mac Studio Cluster. Up to 2TB unified memory. 1.6 trillion+ active parameters.🤔 This lines up with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who separately reported Apple is preparing an AI server based on the M5 Ultra (codename J246), a second-gen server chip based on the M7 Ultra for ~2029, and – further out – an M8 chip (codename "Soko") plus a high-end Mac chip ("Cardinal"), both on a 1.4nm process by 2028.P.S. None of this is officially confirmed by Apple.@Apples
