asmi brings nvidia-smi to Apple Silicon

This is the right abstraction for Apple Silicon inference: a lightweight control plane instead of another opinionated runtime. The useful part is not just visibility, but orchestration across the messy stack people already run.

• –The daemon collapses a bunch of ad hoc macOS commands into one API surface, which matters once you move from a single laptop to a cluster.
• –RDMA and Thunderbolt topology support is the differentiator here; that is the painful part most tooling ignores.
• –MLX server lifecycle management makes it more than monitoring, since it can recover, reload, and manage serving state.
• –The MCP server is a smart distribution play: it turns infrastructure state into agent-accessible tools.
• –The product is strongest for local-LLM operators, not general Mac users, which keeps the scope coherent.
