Summary Since macOS 26, our Core ML / MPS inference pipeline produces incorrect results on Mac mini M1 (Macmini9,1, A14-class SoC). The same model and code runs correctly on M2 and newer (A15-class and up). The regression appears to be in the Scaled Dot-Product Attention (SDPA) kernel path in the MPS backend. Environment Affected Mac mini M1 — Macmini9,1 (A14-class) Not affected M2 and newer (A15-class and up) Last known good macOS Sequoia First broken macOS 26 (Tahoe) ? Confirmed broken on macOS 26.3.1 Framework Core ML + MPS backend Language C++ (via CoreML C++ API) Description We ship an audio processing application (VoiceAssist by NoiseWorks) that runs a deep learning model (based on Demucs architecture) via Core ML with the MPS compute unit. On macOS Sequoia this works correctly on all Apple Silicon Macs including M1. After updating to macOS 26 (Tahoe), inference on M1 Macs fails — either producing garbage output or crashing. The same binary, same .mlpackage, same inputs work correctly on M2+. O
