MicroGPT-C in pure C hits 10M TPS on Apple M5

OpenAI•USA•

What happened

MicroGPT-C is a minimalist, pure‑C implementation of a GPT‑style language model that can run on Apple’s M5 processor, achieving an impressive 10 million token‑per‑second throughput. By stripping away heavyweight frameworks and writing everything in low‑level C, the project demonstrates that high‑speed inference is possible on consumer‑grade hardware without GPUs.

Why it matters

This breakthrough suggests that ultra‑lightweight AI models can be deployed on edge devices with minimal latency, opening doors for real‑time language processing in mobile and embedded applications and challenging the dominance of larger, framework‑dependent solutions.

Is this a big deal?
