That solution actually makes great sense. So Apple won in some strange way again?

Guess there are limitations on size of the models, but if top-tier models will getting democratized I don’t see a reason not to use this API. The only thing that comes to me is data privacy concerns.

I think batch-evals for non-sensitive data has great PMF here.

Heh, what did they win exactly? This is just a way for another company to extract value out of the single region of the world where Apple is a relevant vendor, and it happens to be the one where it's the easiest to pull people into schemes.

Yes. They never needed to participate in the AI race to zero.

Because they were already at the finish line with Apple Silicon.

The whole inference is end-to-end encrypted so none of the nodes can see the prompts or the messages.

Fun question: can some (part of it) be a crypto token that I can buy? :))

That would finally be a crypto thing which is backed by value I believe in.
