Mac Bare Metal for Artificial Intelligence: Why Companies Are Choosing Apple Silicon

A Proven Service Conquers New Markets

Our Mac Bare Metal service has undergone an interesting evolution: Originally developed for workgroup services with macOS Server – email, calendar, file sharing, and wiki servers – the service later established itself as a leading solution for CI/CD in the iOS/macOS build ecosystem. Today, world-renowned brands use our infrastructure for their macOS builds and app development pipelines.

But now we're discovering an exciting new trend: Companies are increasingly using our Apple Silicon Macs for artificial intelligence – specifically for the secure hosting of their own Large Language Models (LLMs).

Why Apple Silicon Is the Smarter Choice for Enterprise AI

More Power, Lower Costs

The latest generation of Apple Silicon chips was practically designed for AI applications. Unlike traditional computer setups where the processor and graphics card have separate memory pools, all components in Apple Silicon share the same memory. The result: Dramatically better performance at significantly lower costs. The numbers speak for themselves:

Mac mini M4 Pro with 48GB: approx. CHF 2,300
Comparable NVIDIA system: approx. CHF 7,000
Energy consumption: up to 10x less than traditional AI servers

Memory Makes the Difference

While high-end graphics cards are limited to 24GB of memory, our Mac Studios can be configured with up to 128GB. For modern AI models that often require 30-50GB, this is a decisive advantage. Our Apple Silicon Macs can effortlessly run large language models that simply won't run on conventional graphics cards.

The Data Privacy Imperative: Why Companies Need Local AI

The Hidden Risks of Public AI Services

When employees use ChatGPT or similar services, company data often ends up in the providers' training datasets. This means: Your confidential information becomes part of the public AI model. Particularly problematic for internationally operating companies:

FADP and GDPR violations through uncontrolled data usage
Compliance risks in regulated industries
Loss of data control to foreign tech corporations
