Matlab has worked on Apple Silicon via Rosetta since Matlab R2020b. We have provided a Matlab script that detects if Matlab is running using Rosetta.

For now, the Matlab Apple Silicon beta runs natively on Apple Silicon for generally better performance. To use Matlab from Terminal, add to ~/.zshrc:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/MATLAB_R2022b_Beta.app/bin/

as appropriate for the Matlab version on the Mac computer.
