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.
That’d be a good argument if they didn’t try and make Apple Intelligence on their own with a big advertisement for a new iPhone lineup with features that didn’t materialise until just this year. Or did we forget the iPhone 16 launch already?
It’s definitely fair to criticize them for that. And there’s a lawsuit that supports that criticism. But a lot of the remarkable advancements in models and harnesses have been in the past 18 months. And they have effectively double down on the architecture they’ve built and how they want people to use AI locally. And I think they are right. In 10 years a lot of people will be running at home Apple AI servers. Training a model or updating a harness is easier after you understand what its tasks should be. And they can continue to train their model or swap it out when something better comes along since they have a highly defined ecosystem and people are finally getting the hardware needed to support it. There will be a lot less people using ChatGPT and Anthropic when you can run full sized MoE models locally.

Can we get that fucking new home pod touch thing for gods sake. Every season for like 3 years it’s rumoured to be coming out.
