Apple Silicon或降低企业智能体成本
一篇9to5Mac分析认为,随着智能体工具提高用量,云端按Token计费的成本可能高于一次性购买Mac硬件。文中援引Asymco数据称,在高用量场景下,配备M5 Max和128GB统一内存的16英寸MacBook Pro或可在7至14个月回本,但这取决于本地开放权重模型能否胜任日常工作。
该分析提出一种混合部署思路:由Apple Silicon本地运行日常任务,再将高难度任务交给云端前沿模型。

Apple hardware costs more than it did a year ago, and if you have purchased a fleet recently, you are feeling it. Now, one thing I should mention: Macs have not risen in price with inflation or performance. If you think about what a Mac mini or MacBook Air cost when they launched vs. today, I would still say they are extremely affordable. With that being said, there’s a scenario taking shape in the enterprise where the price of a Mac matters a lot less than it used to. If open-weight AI models become a real part of how companies work, Apple Silicon might end up looking basically free compared to the token bill it supplements.
