Hello everyone,
I wanted to consult you about a problem I’m experiencing. I downloaded the newly launched ChatGPT desktop application on my MacBook 13-inch, 2019 device, but it indicates that it is not suitable for the device and does not work. My macOS is up to date and my specifications are: Processor: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB, Memory: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3, Operating System: macOS Sonoma (version 14.5). I can’t understand how it doesn’t work. Is there anyone who can help with this? Or does the application not work on Intel processors?

Yes, this is correct. It is only available on Silicon Macs.

I know people have said that you need Apple silicon to make the ChatGPT app work.
But that is really BS - I can emulate the iphone app on my itel imac, so there is no reason Open AI can not make a native Itel version of the app.
They just choose not to. Which is whatever… but just say that instead.
I just hate when companies say something then the community echos that it is not possible when it obviously is possible.
I talked to some of the developers and it there are features only available on Silicon devices that they use. It is actually not possible to create the application for Intel devices.
