It's interesting that Apple also actively develops https://github.com/apple/axlearn, which is a library on top of Jax. Seems like half the ML teams at Apple use PyTorch, and the other half uses Jax. Maybe its split between Google Cloud and AWS?

In my experience, this is pretty normal in large companies like Apple. Coordination costs are real. Unless there's a good reason to standardize on a single tool, its usually easier for teams to just pick whichever tool makes the most sense based on the problem they're solving and what the team has experience with.
Big companies like Apple yes, but not Apple
I don’t know as haven’t worked there, but have always heard Apple described more as a series of companies/startups than one coherent entity like Meta or whatever. Each is allowed a large degree of autonomy from what I’ve heard.
aka Google some years ago (don't know about now...)
