Apple and Meta worked together for months to run Meta's open-weight Muse Spark Open on linked M5 Ultra Mac Studios, marking their first public partnership since 2017.
Apple and Meta had not publicly partnered since Apple removed system-level Facebook integration from the iPhone in 2017, according to Implicator.
Meta estimated in early 2022 that Apple's 2021 privacy changes would cut its revenue that year by $10 billion, Implicator reports.
The two-machine setup requires 512GB Mac Studios that have not shipped yet, while the 256GB model costs at least $10,799 each, according to Implicator.
During testing, the model was deployed inside video-editing software like DaVinci Resolve to automatically review, crop, and edit footage entirely on-device, MediaPost reports.
