Apple reportedly building Harbor, a local AI inference app for Mac
What happened
On November 11, Hacker News' front page reported that leaker Aaron Perris found Apple developing a Mac app called Harbor. The app reportedly turns a Mac into a private AI inference server, running open-weight models locally on Apple silicon, with data staying on the hardware and off the cloud. The report covers only the app's development, its purpose, how it runs local models and the on-device data handling. It gives no release date or availability details.
