Multiple confirmations from folks that the black screen crashes (reboots?) are an 18.1 beta problem. Without evidence, my gut says this is Apple Intelligence hitting the 8 GB RAM ceiling for local models. It again makes me question Apple not moving more AI to the cloud.

@manton either way I want a free case.

@manton And putting more ram in the $1000+ devices

@manton I have them on 18.0 on both a 13 Pro Max and a regular 13

@manton I’m getting those crashes on my 14 Pro, which doesn’t support Apple Intelligence (so I assume isn’t trying to run any local models?)
