Assembled in Cupertino once more. ;)
- coldtea 4mo agoYeah, Apple just designs and writes the SoC, CPU, graphics unit, neural unit, compiler (Swift), OS, graphics layer, 3D API, core libs from graphics to persistence, filesystem, broadband chip, and a few more things besides...
- saagarjha 4mo agoNotably good models are not on that list.
- geden 4mo agoNeither are other capex heavy items like chip fabs.
- coldtea 4mo agoYeah, they also don't mine their own steel and copper. Such mere assemblers!
- coldtea 4mo agoYeah, that totally makes them merely assemblers then /s
- bigyabai 4mo agoApple Silicon is broadly unused for LLM training. Arguably, Apple isn't even helping to assemble real-world AI models, just the thin client hardware.
- Danox 4mo agoAI models in the end are just commodities the computer using public is not going to pay for them directly, in short, they’re not gonna bail out OpenAI, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic.
