Apple Silicon Macs mine noticeably faster in this release.

  • Macs now use all their GPU cores by default. The old default held the Metal solver back to a fraction of the chip. On an M2 Pro we measured roughly 1.4 to 1.8x more sustained throughput, and on the live pool a tuned M2 Pro now out-earns stock M4 and M5 machines. Every Apple Silicon Mac benefits automatically, with nothing to change.
  • Better Metal GPU buffer sizing, which especially helps the smaller fanless Macs that were quietly running at about half speed.
  • Windows and Linux are unchanged.

Macs on 0.6.9 or newer auto-update within about 30 minutes.
