PyTorch 2.15 speeds Mac MoE decoding up to 6.5×

PyTorch 2.15 speeds Mac MoE decoding up to 6.5×

Written by Felipe Santos on . Posted in AI.

PyTorch 2.15 brings large speedups and new capabilities to Apple silicon Macs. The release is from the PyTorch team at Hugging Face, which works on the MPS backend to make the Mac a first-class place to run and train PyTorch models. At the start of 2026, running even small models on MPS often meant working around unsupported operations, performance cliffs and unexpected memory growth. The team runs real models from the Hugging Face Hub across language, image and video, finds where MPS falls short, and fixes it upstream in PyTorch, increasingly by replacing MPSGraph with dedicated Metal...

Updates to Full Disk Access in macOS

Written by Felipe Santos on . Posted in Software.

Apple said it will introduce additional controls to Full Disk Access, citing concerns that some developers are using the permission in ways that could put users at risk. Full Disk Access largely sidesteps Apple's privacy controls to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac. However, some developers are using it to access everything on users' systems—including files, mail, messages, and browsing history—without users' full knowledge and understanding. For communication apps, this access can also compromise the privacy of people users are communicating with. Going forward, Apple will...

OpenClaw Brings Native App Installation to macOS, Simplifies Local AI Setup on Windows

Written by Felipe Santos on . Posted in AI.

OpenClaw has inspired hundreds of thousands of developers to run agents on their own hardware. But getting started hasn't always been straightforward—even technically experienced users spend more than 30 minutes wrestling with setup before achieving a working agent. In June, OpenClaw launched a Windows App installer to simplify onboarding for users avoiding the terminal. Today, the company is bringing that native app experience to macOS, and making Windows setup even simpler for machines with NVIDIA RTX GPUs. .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav, .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav:hover, ...

NVIDIA PAIR: Distributed AI Inference for Home Networks

Written by Felipe Santos on . Posted in AI.

AI agents are learning to work together more effectively. A lead agent can break complex tasks into smaller jobs and assign them to specialized subagents, with users increasingly running multiple agent sessions simultaneously. Multi-agent workflows are becoming more common, but this approach can bottleneck the system as many requests flood the GPU at once. NVIDIA Personal AI Router (PAIR) addresses this problem by leveraging local hardware to distribute inference requests across available systems on a home network. PAIR routes each independent request to an available machine and works with...
