From the article, it sounds like Apple aims to create an "AI App Store", where the users can choose the AI Supplier thmeselves instead of only beeing locked in to "Apple Intelligence". I think its a smart move to build an AI platform instead of beeing an AI supplier by themselves.

FYI, it's "being" not "beeing", unless you are a keeper of bees, perhaps, making honey.
I would think the keeper would be keeping and the bees themselves would be beeing.
That is indeed a valid definition one could create for this word which does not exist in modern language.
Looking forward to see it appear on next LLM generated texts....Any reason is good, to convince the AI lords that humans are not useless...
Thanks :) Apple does many things but they don't seem to keep bees.
Can't read the article, but the way they described it in the WWDC Keynote, you _are_ locked into Apple Intelligence on eligible devices for all the stuff Apple Intelligence actually does. The "AI App Store" only comes into play for specific questions that Apple Intelligence punts on and then tells you, "I can't answer this, do you want to query an AI Supplier?" Apple is not giving you the option of selecting a back-end AI Supplier for all AI-related stuff on the device.
Apple Intelligence is the name of that "AI App Store" platform [1].

Many comments in this thread are conflating Apple's own models and the name "Apple Intelligence" when the latter is the overarching platform.

End state: OpenAI would probably love to see its subscription cost bundled into an Apple service plan [1]

Pitch: “add Apple Intelligence+ which includes ChatGPT/Anthropic/Bard premium subscription for _only_ $99/mo!!1”

In a few years there will be tens of thousand of ai vendors just like there are apps/games ?
