There was some good discussion of this in the past on this forum: > [@Native Apple Silicon Support](https://forums.negativelabpro.com/t/native-apple-silicon-support/6017): > > Hello NLP Forum! I know that this feature request was touched on several months ago but I am wondering if there is any further insight as to whether the new build of NLP will have native Apple Silicon support. I am setting up my new MacBook Pro and would prefer to not install Rosetta 2. I don’t need install NLP right away and would be happy to wait for v3 if it will have native support for M1, M2, etc. Macs. Many thanks and looking forward to the new features in v3. Someone in the thread ran a test compiling the libraries on his own which were native to Apple Silicon. The only improvement was during conversion analysis, and it was a smaller improvement than you might imagine (~15%). I know that is still an improvement, but there are probably other opportunities for improvement that are even larger (for instance, I added improvements in v2.4 that made conversions almost 2x faster than v2.3, and that was just from memory optimization in the code. That said, I’m of course open to re-exploring, the tricky thing is making the libraries standalone and transportable. -Nate --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.negativelabpro.com/t/negative-lab-pro-v3-0-the-next-level-of-film-processing/6429)._
