What they shot was us. My 14 Pro won’t do AI despite having a better NPU than an M1, all because Apple chose - intentionally - to ship it with too little RAM. They knew AI was coming and they did this anyway.
Although having played with it on my MBP it’s clear I’m not missing much. But still.
- DrBenCarson 2y agoThey knew they were releasing Apple Intelligence before ChatGPT went live? lol
- grahamj 2y agoThey knew about LLMs in 2022. They've been shipping NPUs since transformers hit the scene in 2017.
- fennecbutt 2y agoWell given they're leaning on concepts like loras etc so much with apple "intelligence" I don't imagine they've been planning this for as long as you think they have. And their npus weren't added in anticipation of LLMs, imo. You give em too much credit.
