Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get its disk space back
在 macOS 27 上关闭 Apple Intelligence 并释放磁盘空间
RemoveMacAI Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and remove its downloaded models. macOS 27 no longer has a single switch for Apple Intelligence, and its models stay on disk after the features are turned off. RemoveMacAI turns the features off, removes the models and prevents macOS from downloading them again. All changes can be reverted. RemoveMacAI 可以在 macOS 27 上关闭 Apple Intelligence 并移除其已下载的模型。macOS 27 不再提供单一的 Apple Intelligence 开关，即使关闭相关功能，模型文件仍会保留在磁盘上。RemoveMacAI 可以关闭这些功能、移除模型并阻止 macOS 再次下载它们。所有更改均可撤销。

The script downloads the latest release, verifies its SHA-256 checksum and runs it from a temporary directory. Nothing is installed. Every release is built from its tag by GitHub Actions and carries a build provenance attestation. To check that a download came from this repository’s source: gh attestation verify removemacai-darwin-arm64.tar.gz -R omlahore/RemoveMacAI 该脚本会下载最新版本，验证其 SHA-256 校验和，并从临时目录运行。它不会安装任何内容。每个版本均由 GitHub Actions 从标签构建，并带有构建来源证明。若要验证下载文件是否来自此存储库的源，请运行： gh attestation verify removemacai-darwin-arm64.tar.gz -R omlahore/RemoveMacAI
With Homebrew: brew install omlahore/tap/removemacai removemacai 使用 Homebrew： brew install omlahore/tap/removemacai removemacai
RemoveMacAI shows the current state and asks for confirmation. It then opens System Settings to install its configuration profile, which macOS requires the user to approve, and removes the models. RemoveMacAI 会显示当前状态并请求确认。随后它会打开“系统设置”以安装配置文件（macOS 要求用户手动批准），并移除相关模型。

How it works
工作原理
A configuration profile applies Apple’s restriction keys for Apple Intelligence and forces the settings that have no restriction key. Models are removed through Apple’s asset service. System Integrity Protection stays enabled and no files under /System are modified directly. The profile redirects the download of each removed model to a closed local port, so macOS does not download it again. Removing the profile restores the previous settings. macOS downloads the models again when a feature needs them. RemoveMacAI makes no network requests and collects no data. 配置文件会应用 Apple 的 Apple Intelligence 限制键，并强制执行没有限制键的设置。模型通过 Apple 的资源服务 (asset service) 移除。系统完整性保护 (SIP) 保持启用，且不会直接修改 /System 下的任何文件。该配置文件会将每个已移除模型的下载请求重定向到一个关闭的本地端口，从而阻止 macOS 再次下载。移除配置文件即可恢复之前的设置。当功能需要时，macOS 会重新下载这些模型。RemoveMacAI 不会发起任何网络请求，也不会收集任何数据。
FAQ
常见问题
Does dictation still work? Yes. Dictation is a separate setting, and its speech models are not removed. 听写功能还能用吗？ 可以。听写是一个独立的设置，其语音模型不会被移除。
Do macOS updates undo the changes? No. The profile, including the download block, persists across updates. macOS 更新会撤销这些更改吗？ 不会。配置文件（包括下载拦截）在更新后依然有效。
Storage settings still lists Apple Intelligence after the models were deleted. Apple’s asset service releases the models right away, but macOS deletes the files on its own schedule. Until then, System Settings > General > Storage keeps counting them under Apple Intelligence. 删除模型后，存储设置中仍显示 Apple Intelligence。 Apple 的资源服务会立即释放模型，但 macOS 会按照自己的计划删除文件。在此之前，“系统设置” > “通用” > “存储空间”仍会将它们计入 Apple Intelligence。
Why is a process named Siri still running? In macOS 27 the Spotlight window runs as a process named Siri. Some system services also stay loaded; they are protected by System Integrity Protection. 为什么名为 Siri 的进程仍在运行？ 在 macOS 27 中，聚焦搜索 (Spotlight) 窗口作为名为 Siri 的进程运行。一些系统服务也会保持加载状态；它们受到系统完整性保护的保护。
What stops working? The features listed above, apps that use Apple’s on-device models (the Foundation Models framework and the Use Model action in Shortcuts), Visual Intelligence and natural-language editing in Calendar. 哪些功能会停止工作？ 上述列出的功能、使用 Apple 设备端模型的应用（Foundation Models 框架和快捷指令中的“使用模型”操作）、视觉智能以及日历中的自然语言编辑。
