    Apple, to me, is the winner in the end of this AI chapter.

    Distillation works: we can get models leaner, have better performance with lesser and lesser parameters, more efficient, running locally. Apple gets this and we'll see the result with M7 Max/ultra chips and I reckon this will be one of the titular apps when M7 line of chips are introduced.

    I guess it explains the haste Anthropic and OpenAI are in to IPO, cash out and leave the the retail investor holding the bag.

      Man, if all that makes Apple a "winner" then I'm dying to hear your assessment of Nvidia.

      Factoring in the increased cost of memory, Apple's threatened service revenue and the stagnation of ecosystem products like the Mac and iPad, I think they have a really challenging future to navigate. The whole "sell people a B2C ecosystem" business model is more threatened than ever.

        The contrast I'm drawing is running these models locally vs on the cloud and how that would be a selling point well received.

          I don't think that's materially different from what you can do with Nvidia and AMD GPUs, besides the fact that you're limited to Thunderbolt interconnect.

      I love that they are bringing Claris back for this. Moof!
