It doesn't sound crazy at all, this seems almost obvious. The OS should provide a chat completions server and the user should be able to select the underlying LLM's server. This should be just like selecting a default search engine or browser.

Hopefully the EU forces US tech giants to do this. God knows Apple and Google won't do this on their own. They gotta get that sweet default provider revenue.

I wonder why this hasn’t happened yet. If Microsoft wants to have a Copilot button and AI investments are all the rage now, surely anything to make integrating with them would be good for keeping the hype cycle alive for longer?

Because it’s still pretty early in this journey and there’s some exclusivity deals to be made.

Apple told EU Citizens thats why they cant have Siri on their Phone as AI; they would have to provide an Interface where you can plug in your own LLM of your chosing.
