The new Apple Mac mini M6 is here, and in this video I take a first-hand look at what Apple’s latest compact Mac can actually do — especially when it comes to running AI models locally. I test Qwen3.8-27B directly on the M6 Mac mini and manage to get 53+ tokens per second (TPS) during local inference. For such a compact machine, the performance is seriously interesting. We’ll look at the new M6 chip, CPU and GPU improvements, unified memory performance, memory bandwidth, Neural Accelerators, Neural Engine, connectivity, and what these upgrades actually mean for developers and people interested in Local AI.
