The question is whether there will be models that can’t fit into an iPhone that apple will miss out on because they find cloud based personalization so abhorrent. Agree these are tremendously good features and having them run locally will provide the best possible experience.

My hope for the surprise is an almost order of magnitude increase in memory on these chips. That wold be transformative for local AI.

  Order of magnitude increase in memory without a corresponding increase in size is a pipe dream if I've ever heard one.

    We're all aloud our pipe dreams, the future is built on them.

  > I'm not even sure what "cloud based personalization" means to the user, other than "Hoover up all of your personal information." It means having actually good ML. I see so many posts around here saying Apple is absolutely well positioned to dominate in ML. It's just not true. Nobody who is a top AI player wants to work at Apple where they have few if any AI products, no data, don't pay particularly well, not a big research culture, etc. etc. The only thing they have going for them in this space is a good ARM architecture for low power matrix multiplication.
