Among other potential use-cases, this feature may prove to be handy for AI developers and researchers looking to run massive local models by pooling together device resources.<\/p>\n<p>This clustering capability won\u2019t just be limited to high end machines like the Mac Studio, but will work with any Thunderbolt 5-enabled Mac, including the M4 Pro Mac mini. It\u2019s perfect timing, because I just went hands-on with Sonnet\u2019s new rack mount solution for the M4-era Mac mini, aptly titled RackMac mini.<\/p>\n<p>The RackMac mini lets users mount up to three Mac mini machines in a standard 19-inch rack footprint, and features a handful of intelligent design decisions \u2013 like front power buttons \u2013 that make managing multiple machines easy.
