On June 18, LM Studio announced that during WWDC, in partnership with Apple, it successfully ran Moon’s Dark Side (Moonshot AI)'s trillion-parameter model Kimi K2.6 on a cluster of four Mac Studios using an LM Studio preview. Through the LM Link feature, it demonstrated secure remote access from a MacBook Neo and iPhone, showcasing the possibility of invoking cutting-edge AI locally without relying on the cloud. LM Studio described it as „a glimpse of personal, private, cutting-edge AI.“ Specific configuration, throughput speed, and inference latency data have not yet been disclosed. Commenters in the thread have widely questioned the hardware cost (approximately $40,000 to $60,000 for four Mac Studios) and the discontinuation of the Mac Studio on Apple’s official website. LM Studio has not yet made a public response.
