some people didn’t get my apple post about execs smiling this morning, so let me break it down a bit. the r1 news is massive for apple—like, generationally massive. apple bet early on model commoditization. they didn’t blow capex on some me-too race, didn’t overreact, didn’t pivot into panic mode. they just played it steady, focused, controlled. they bet on *edge inference*. the models don’t live in the cloud; they live on the device. & that strategy is now unequivocally proven directionally accurate.
in a few years, your iphone, ipad, mac, homepod, whatever will likely be running an llm natively. it’ll be fast. private. agi-level good, potentially. apple will own that end-to-end experience: the ux, the model, the silicon, the hardware. & when everything is deeply optimized, that’s where apple thrives. no one else plays this game better.
when models commoditize, apple wins bc the value shifts from the model itself to how it’s deployed, integrated, & leveraged. this was google’s moonshot with pixel which would’ve left apple high & dry. in few years every apple device will ship with agi on board just like every tesla shipped will come with a “driver” on board.
I’ve been really inspired by what @benjitaylor achieved with the Family UI. The attention to detail and the fluidity are on another level.
As a new school dev, I decided to take a shot at replicating a small part of the app entirely in SwiftUI with CoreData caching system.
@MrNick_Buzz I’m no expert, and this might not be the first thing to consider, but in the long term, @CleanMyMac can help you keep your Mac running at top performance. Plus, their UI is super cool, especially when it comes to monitoring network performance and CPU usage.
What is happening to Google now is pretty much textbook of what happened to Xerox PARC, but worse:
PARC invented all the foundations of personal computing, yet Apple and Microsoft commercialized it
Google invented many of the foundations of AI, yet everyone else is commercializing it
Even worse, everyone else is now competing with them, and now those competitors are coming for their biggest money maker: Search
