Apple does AI as Microsoft did mobile

- PaulHoule 2y agoI have no use for "Apple Intelligence" but boy the Apple Studio which can be loaded with 512MB of RAM accessible to the GPU is revolutionary as an AI workstation. It's a crazy-expensive desktop computer that does the job of a server machine which is vastly more expensive and that's exactly where you want to be in terms of pricing. Years back I worked at a startup that was training AI models where I got an Alienware laptop with a GPU despite everyone else having a Macbook. Fast forward today and it is the other way around.
- breckenedge 2y agoApple hardware is in a good place. Even the M1 runs some decently capable models with ease. Yes, Apple Intelligence sucks, but it was a quick response to Microsoft Copilot. We’re still in the early days here. Folks don’t totally know yet what a model on a phone should be capable of. I see it becoming useful when it’s able to surf the web and do things on behalf of the user, but that’s not even on the desktop much yet. As an example, I want an AI that I can ask, “Book me and my partner a week in Italy for under $x in the next month, with a full site-seeing itinerary, and submit vacation request with my employer.” and it’s able to research and do that with minimal validation. That would be a pretty cool thing for a phone to be able to do.
