I don't think they're "trusting Google" with anything. It's a Google model run by Apple, just like you download a model from Hugging Face to run when you want to.

Run by Apple where? Do they really have enough hardware to run it in-house?

Yes, and if they don't, they can lease datacentre capacity like anyone else can. SpaceX seems to have plenty for rent.

Apparently it's now a Google model run by Apple on GPUs rented from Google.

You bet! Also I appreciate your edit, a lot of people don't understand how much benefit they can bring to this community by doing that!
