Frequently asked questions
Can a Mac generate AI videos locally?
Yes. Apple Silicon Macs can run open-weight video models locally. Choose your unified memory below to see compatible builds, Mac apps and any published generation times.
How much memory does a local AI video generator need?
It depends on the model, quantization and app. Macs use unified memory and NVIDIA GPUs use VRAM. ModelFit accounts for the complete component bundle and known runtime costs. When those costs are unknown, the fit stays unknown instead of treating download size as memory use.
How fast is local AI video generation on a Mac?
It varies by model, chip, memory, app and settings. The tables only show published measurements for the exact Mac, build and workload; otherwise Time is unknown. ModelFit does not run its own benchmarks.
