VQV Signal
A Hacker News post links to OMLX, a GitHub release tagged v0.7.4.dev1, whose headline says a second Mac can speed up local LLM prefill by 2.9x. The Hacker News entry has 1 point and no comments, so there is little community discussion so far. The 2.9x figure comes from the headline, and the source snippet does not give the benchmark setup, model, or hardware details.

People running open-source LLMs on Mac hardware could be affected if the approach works as the headline describes, since it would let a second machine take on part of the prefill work. Readers should check the GitHub release page for the details the snippet leaves out. With so little discussion so far, the claim has not yet been widely tested in public.
