An open source tool turns off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and deletes its models

RemoveMacAI is an open source command line tool that turns off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27, removes the downloaded models, and blocks macOS from downloading them again. Its author says macOS 27 no longer has a single switch for these features and keeps the models on disk after they are turned off. MacRumors puts the space freed at roughly 12 GB, depending on which models are installed. The first release came out on September 29, 2026, and four more followed by October 5, 2026.
