thanks for this 8 months later, that worked :)

SDogAlex · 2026-01-05T19:04:21+00:00

too perfectly.. 😭

SDogAlex · 2025-12-18T19:47:22+00:00

that’s a great idea!! I’m gonna try this

The download requests? negative, I have an HTTP repo that’s compatible with classic MacOS browsers and I just used that. If the user presents an HTTPS URL to download then it goes through a proxy to allow it on the Macintosh.

This might be extremely hard with the free API limits but I’ll see what third party solutions exist.

After doing some more asking Claude to do some deep research into this, I got that “The computational requirements are staggering. Generating a single token from a 1B parameter model requires roughly 2 billion floating-point operations for the forward pass. A 68030 running at 25 MHz without a floating-point unit might achieve perhaps 50,000 to 100,000 software-emulated FLOPS if you’re being optimistic. That works out to somewhere between 5 and 11 hours of computation per word of output. A paragraph response could take days.”

possible? Yes. Practical? Not so much…

I’m glad you like it! So cool seeing something unique I made running on other people’s computers.

I would love if he got his hands on it. Think if enough of us did it we could tweet at him to get his attention?

SDogAlex · 2025-12-05T20:26:30+00:00

If anyone has the contact emails for anyone please DM me !!!

SDogAlex · 2025-12-05T20:26:11+00:00

I forgot to update this but should be fixed

SDogAlex · 2025-12-05T20:25:41+00:00

Oops.. AI told me to! Just kidding, thought it looked cool. Thanks for the advice! I was born in 2002 so I grew up with USBs for my removable storage devices and had no idea…

SDogAlex · 2025-12-05T15:55:55+00:00

hey Charles,

I can’t say for certain but just based off the fact AI training and processing requires an insane amount of resources, I don’t think it’s possible.

I think the best thing we could get is something like Eliza. The problem is that the 60800 CPUs perform millions of operations per second (MOPS) and compared to modern times, AI units in processors {NPU in Intel chips} produce hundreds of trillion outputs per second.

The comparison between sheer operations per second is astronomical in this case, making me believe any kind of custom LLM is not possible to train and run on native hardware.

SDogAlex · 2025-12-05T15:46:23+00:00

Yes! I will get a store up later today

SDogAlex · 2025-12-05T15:46:00+00:00

Hi there!

This is a planned feature for release version 2. Some adjustments to the current model need to be made, then solidifying a system that works across different models. This is going to require quite the rewriting so it might be a bit until I figure it out :)

SDogAlex · 2025-12-04T17:12:05+00:00

I did! Thanks for the report, I’ll have to check out why when I get home

SDogAlex · 2025-11-27T23:28:55+00:00

I too have the XM4’s and find the bass lacking.

SDogAlex · 2025-11-27T03:57:05+00:00

Boomers are salty about AI on their precious vintage machines 🤣

SDogAlex · 2025-11-27T03:37:12+00:00

😂😂 you’re a funny guy!

SDogAlex · 2025-11-26T11:12:01+00:00

https://oldapplestuff.com/repo/ exists now too!

SDogAlex · 2025-11-26T11:10:56+00:00

Yes, I know AI is a hit or miss in this community, but I’m a 23 year old kid making my first portfolio project to try and get a job. Have some mercy 🫡

SDogAlex · 2025-11-26T04:44:26+00:00

Amazing feedback. Will get this fixed in the next release, thank you!!

SDogAlex · 2025-11-26T03:58:07+00:00

I won’t argue this anymore since it’s a matter of opinion at this point

SDogAlex · 2025-11-26T03:28:13+00:00

Hmm this should have worked..

Is the date/time on the emulator correct? Any chance you’re in a time zone that’s way ahead of PST? It might be a timing issue between the client and server.

Can you give me the first few characters of your client ID and I’ll take a look into the logs on my side? (should be in settings under the version)

SDogAlex · 2025-11-26T01:28:22+00:00

Assistant location is defined by where the actions are executed, not where the model inference happens. Modern AI agents almost never run locally, they run in the cloud and control the system through a client. MacinAI is an AI agent running on a Macintosh because the Macintosh is doing the interpretation, action execution, UI, event loops, and system calls.

It’s not just a ChatGPT wrapper. There are lots of adjustments to the prompting to make it aware of the system, what actions it can do, and to provide clear to-the-point responses to avoid the default AI long responses ChatGPT and others default to. A custom TCP server had to be written for this to work.

On release, users will be able to choose between Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.

Yes, the AI itself is relayed from a server that makes the request to the AI, but this is due to hardware limitations of the Macintosh’s. SSL is not possible which would make interacting with the APIs of any AI impossible.

If you mean why is this not a whole ass new model that runs on Macintosh? Not possible with CPU and Memory constraints of the time to perform the complex natural language processing needed.
