Performance & battery · When your Mac feels slow

Does Tuhi keep using my Mac's resources when I'm not asking it anything?

Short answer: No. Tuhi reads your Mac's memory, processor, temperature and Low Power Mode once, only when you ask a question, and uses Apple Intelligence on-device just while it writes the answer. Nothing runs continuously.

No. Tuhi's look at your Mac's live resources — memory, processor load, temperature and Low Power Mode — is a single quick reading taken when you ask a question. It isn't polled in the background, so it adds no ongoing load.

Writing an answer uses Apple Intelligence on your Mac for a moment while it composes the reply, then stops. Nothing is sent off your device.
