Apple details distributed LLM inference on Mac Studio clusters with MLX and RDMA
onethousandmonkey · reddit · 2026-10-16
Apple's ML research team published a guide on distributed LLM inference using MLX and RDMA, showing how multiple Mac Studio machines can be clustered over low-latency, high-bandwidth RDMA networking to run large models locally that exceed a single machine's unified memory. Details and setup are in the Apple Machine Learning Research blog post.
