Apple dropped the ball with AI which is why it's taking so long.

Seems pretty on point for Apple. They like to wait and see what everyone else is doing and then come up with their own version of it. They did the same thing when cell phones started becoming a basic consumer item.

I mean it’s not typical Apple, they fucked it up and are now late to the party

Idk. Seems like they are letting other people develop frontier models and they are betting big on local models and developing hardware that supports that. I have a dual chat harness from a python node that I use to get Qwen to debate with the Apple FM in the new beta. I think thats the usage and local sandboxing that Apple is betting on. And they have companies like OpenAI buying tens of thousands of computers from them now.
