Claris Launches Private Preview of Harbor, Turning Apple Silicon Macs into On-Prem AI Servers

Apple subsidiary Claris, formerly FileMaker, has opened a private preview of Claris Harbor, an app that turns Apple silicon Macs into a private AI server. A single Mac can host an endpoint, and multiple machines can be linked over Thunderbolt 5 to pool unified memory for running larger models. Details remain limited, but the product targets enterprises that want AI on hardware they control.

Why it matters: Teams looking for private, on-premises AI inference can evaluate whether existing Mac fleets could serve models without moving data to the cloud.
