I don't think this is it. Those systems may require larger drivers for Apple Silicon, but Intel Macs should be perfectly capable of running CoreML models too. I'm unaware of any Apple Silicon-exclusive AI features on Mac (last I used it).

  Just 1 example from a google: https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/07/macos-ventura-apple-silicon-features/ https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/07/macos-ventura-apple-silicon-f... There are plenty more.

    What exactly is this supposed to prove around update sizes though?

      Extra files for ML models etc, as it says in my comment.

        The ML models for coprocessors are usually in size range of few MB.

I’m not sure any (large) ML models as such are bundled.
