RemoveMacAI offers a one-line way to delete Apple Intelligence models on macOS 27

Apple Intelligence models may remain on disk in macOS 27 even after users turn related features off, according to the open-source RemoveMacAI project. Developer Om Lahore estimated on Reddit that the models take up about 12 GB. The tool is designed to disable Apple Intelligence features, remove the local models, and stop macOS from downloading them again by redirecting model download URLs to a local unopened port. The project says it works on Apple silicon Macs running macOS 27. Its README lists macOS 27.0 as tested, while macOS 27.0.1 requires version 0.2.3 or later. macOS 26 and earlier are marked unsupported. Lahore created the GitHub repository on Sept. 29, and it had reached 2,333 stars as of Oct. 6. The project is built on top of pared, developed by 4evy. The README says the tool disables Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, summaries, ChatGPT extensions, Spatial Photos, Photos Clean Up, Mail smart replies, predictive text, and Xcode predictive code completion. It also affects apps that rely on Apple’s on-device models, including the Use Model action in Shortcuts, along with Visual Intelligence and natural language editing in Calendar. Dictation remains available because it is controlled separately.
