Brief

Alex Ocheema recreates a Steve Jobs Theatre slide he can't share, showing Apple devices' maximum local-AI inference capacities: iPhone/iPad up to 16GB and 14B active parameters; MacBook Air 32GB/35B; Mac mini 64GB/70B; MacBook Pro 128GB/120B; Mac Studio 512GB/480B; Mac Studio Cluster 2TB/1.6T+ parameters.

Why it matters

@alexocheema says he cannot share the original Steve Jobs Theatre slides, so he described one slide and used AI to generate a recreation.

Key details

  • The slide lists per-device local AI inference maxima: iPhone/iPad — up to 16GB unified memory and up to 14 billion active parameters; MacBook Air — up to 32GB and 35 billion; Mac mini — up to 64GB and 70 billion; MacBook Pro — up to 128GB and 120 billion; Mac Studio — up to 512GB and 480 billion; Mac Studio Cluster — up to 2TB unified memory and 1.6 trillion+ active parameters.
Source evidence

Sadly I'm not allowed to share the exact slides here from the Steve Jobs Theatre, but I can describe one of the slides and use AI to generate a recreation:
