Apple has simply reportedly signed drivers for Nvidia eGPUs, permitting them to lastly work on Apple silicon units. Tiny Corp stated in its X post that the corporate has lastly accredited the software program, letting customers pair the GPUs with Macs for AI LLM processing. In truth, the corporate claims that putting in the drivers is now really easy that “a Qwen could do it.” The firm first examined an eGPU on Apple Silicon in May 2025, however now that it’s supported by Apple, it implies that customers not have to make use of workarounds for supported {hardware}, like disabling System Integrity Protection, to get the system working.
High-end Apple computer systems lately turned in style with the rise of AI brokers like OpenClaw. In truth, this frenzy has driven a shortage of Macs that came with massive amounts of Unified Memory, with the delivery window pushed from six days to six weeks. It has even gotten to the point that Cupertino no longer offers the 512GB Unified Memory option for the Mac Studio, while the 256GB model received a $400 price bump.

This custom driver seemingly did not come from the GPU maker, though, with Tiny Corp seemingly working on it on its own. Subsequently, this means that the driver is designed for running AI LLMs and not for gaming, surely disappointing people who don’t want to own two different PCs for work and entertainment. Nevertheless, this is still a game-changer for people working with artificial intelligence, as they could now potentially do training or inference (with some limitations) without needing a dedicated AI supercomputer like Tiny Box.
