According to Wccftech and Notebookcheck, Apple’s upcoming A20 Pro chip has been shown running a 27-billion-parameter language model at roughly double the token-generation speed of last year’s A19 Pro, the chip inside the iPhone 17 Pro. Apple has not issued an official statement confirming the specific figures. The numbers come from independent developers and a small AI compression startup. The A20 Pro is described as Apple’s first 2-nanometer iPhone chip, expected to ship inside the iPhone 18 Pro generation. An iPhone enthusiast named Adrien Grondin reportedly ran a 27-billion-parameter model called Bonsai 27B entirely locally on an iPhone 18 Pro, with no cloud calls and no API keys. That demonstration followed months of groundwork from a small AI shop called PrismML, which had already gotten a related 27B model running on last year’s iPhone 17 Pro. The reporting describes a chain of independent demonstrations, not an Apple keynote, with the underlying claim narrower than the headline.
