I don’t think we’ve seen the whole story on how Apple plans to monetize what is effectively a massive, distributed AI platform. Think of all the AI startups paying OpenAI per token for consumer app capabilities. Or having to rely on suboptimal local foundation models. The value Apple can offer here is considerable. I’d expect Google is headed towards a similar architecture, and both platforms will include API monetization for third parties. I wonder if Apple’s deal with OpenAI precludes the latter from attempting to build their own hybrid platform on Apple devices…
