Apple's Minions: idle Macs become a virtual GPU cloud
GLM-Legal targets agentic legal intelligence, while Microsoft introduced Decision-1, a model for structured decision tasks that emphasizes latency and quality. AWS announced Lambda Web Functions for running HTTP frameworks on serverless compute, and Apple researchers described Minions, a virtual GPU cloud built from idle Apple Silicon Macs. Anthropic reported reducing illicit distillation of its frontier-model capabilities by more than 90%.
