Exo announced it's featured on Apple's M5 Ultra Mac Studio and M6/M5 Pro Mac mini product pages after a year of joint work on low-latency RDMA over Thunderbolt 5, saying aggregate memory bandwidth scales roughly linearly and clusters run Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3 at API speeds. The top technical reply (46 upvotes) points out you'd report 4.8 TB/s even if the machines were connected by 90s modems across four continents, because it's just the sum of each machine's memory channels and RDMA doesn't affect that number. (r/LocalLLaMA) Others note Exo hasn't cut a release in four months.
