apfel: Free AI already on your Mac
SMRTR summary
MacOS Tahoe includes a built-in 3-billion parameter AI language model that typically only powers Siri, but a new open-source tool called apfel now provides command-line and API access to this on-device AI through a simple one-command installation via Homebrew. The tool requires no downloads, configuration, or API keys since it uses the existing model already shipped with macOS, offering completely private AI processing that never sends data off your Mac.
