What’s going on isn’t Apple behind in AI model building I thought I read that somewhere on the MacRumors site in the last two years, that Apple is behind its tech peers and Apple might as well just close the doors.
I always thought Apple was in a good position because unlike their peers they didn’t burn billions of dollars trying to build an AI model that has no financial moat around it.
I still think they’re in a good position in comparison to their tech peers and we will know even more when some of the new computers get into the hands of some of the tech reviewers.
I believe the new computer’s will be pretty good hardware wise what I’m interested in, is the Apple software support for connecting several Mac computers together, and some of the other (new?) software that Apple may have written in house to support those who want to run AI software locally that is just as important as the new hardware.
They're making the smartest possible move: let others burn insane amounts of capital and time finding the quirks and once they see a viable lane, execute.
It's old Steve Jobs logic. Works backwards from the customer experience to the technology (they're the only big player I see doing this).
I feel like they failed upwards into the right strategy. I doubt it was deliberate and not because of the failure of their foundation models to decent.
