Apple ML shows how to run distributed LLM inference across Mac Studios with MLX and RDMA
Apple ML Research · rss · 2026-10-15
Apple ML Research published a guide on running local and distributed large LLM inference using MLX with RDMA across multiple Mac Studio machines.
The writeup demonstrates how to link Apple Silicon nodes into a cluster for distributed inference, offering developers without high-end GPU datacenters a path to serving large models on local Mac hardware.
