    I tried and on my M2 MacBook Air to see how they work without fans.

    None of them use the efficient cores of the CPUs, even , which supposedly is written for these.

    can force but not to run on the efficient cores and can use the GPU.

    Makes me wonder again how green is compared to projects building or renting larger, more efficient computers.
