How come many different Apple Silicon chips show up in “computing - CPU models”, when this project doesn’t have Apple support? Makes no sense.

Apple Silicon CPU/GPU applications are not available officially, but it's possible to build it manually and run it under the BOINC's "anonymous platform". Some people do.

P.S. You can download the unofficial Apple Silicon GPU application from https://github.com/SChernykh-team/actions/actions/runs/11844297083 (scroll down for the build artifacts) - I tried to build it to check if it's possible, and it built fine and ran fine.
