Open-source tool helps Mac users remove Apple Intelligence

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Oct, 14:54 · Archive

An open-source tool called RemoveMacAI lets Mac users delete Apple Intelligence models from their drives.

An open-source command line tool called RemoveMacAI has emerged to help Mac users remove Apple Intelligence and reclaim storage space. In macOS 27, Apple removed the toggle that previously allowed users to disable Apple Intelligence entirely. Disabling individual features no longer removes the underlying AI models from the drive.

RemoveMacAI addresses this by using a configuration profile to switch off Apple's asset management system, preventing the models from being downloaded and allowing their removal. The tool has gained attention in the Mac community as users seek ways to free up valuable disk space consumed by the AI models.
