So Apple is about to pay OpenAI 1 B usd pr year for what moonshot is giving for free?

  You haven't seen Gemini 3 yet. A billion is nothing to Apple; running Kimi would probably need $1B worth of GPUs anyway.

    People don't get that Apple would need an enormous data center buildout to provide a good AI experience on their millions of deployed devices. Google is in the exascale datacenter buildout business, while Apple isn't.

      Apple is buying a model from Google, not inference. Apple will host the model themselves. It's very simple: Apple absolutely refuses to send all their user data to Google.

        Then why did Apple have a $20B a year search deal with Google?
        • wmf 11mo ago
          The argument can be made that when people search Google they know they are using Google but when they use Siri they assume that their data is not going to Google. I think this is more likely to be solved contractually than having Gemini running on a datacenter full of M5 Ultra servers.
