Developers running local AI models struggle to efficiently utilize multiple Apple devices.

Build a lightweight coordinator that pools Mac Studios, iPhones and iPads into a compute cluster for larger models.

Target small studios and researchers who want privacy but lack dedicated GPU servers.

MVP could simply balance load across two devices.

Challenge is competing with cloud solutions that require no setup.
