This is what Apple is envisioning with their SLMs, like having a model specifically for managing calendar events. It doesn't need to have the full knowledge of all humanity in it - just what it needs to manage the calendar.

Issue is their envisioning everyone only using Apple products.
Just like Google wants everyone to use their products. That’s how companies work.
The tech is still public and the research is available
Apple's hardware is notoriously overpriced, so I don't think they're envisioning that at all.
Is it? The base $600 Mac and $150 Apple TV are easily two of the best deals in their market
I'm still betting on a future AppleTV model being a full-on local LLM machine.
This way they could offload as much of the "LLM" work on a device that lives in the home, all family linked phones and devices could use it for local inference.
It's way overpowered as is anyway, why not use it for something useful.
