> Apple locked it behind Siri. apfel sets it free

This doesn't feel truthful, it sounds like this tool is a hack that unlocks something. If I understand it correctly, it's using the same FoundationModels framework that powers Apple Intelligence, but for CLI and OpenAI compatible REST endpoint. Which is fine, just the marketing goes hard a bit.

> Runs on Neural Engine

Also unsure if this runs on ANE, when I tried Apple Intelligence I saw that it ran on the GPU (Metal).

I was able to confirm that it actually runs on ANE, I'm impressed.
