  They do, they are low key panicking.

    And if they aren't, they should be. They ship some of the cheapest, most capable, and easiest to buy/set up AI hardware out there, and then don't ship any AI software worth speaking of. Apple needs to fix this.

    I do not believe they are panicking, not least because I don't think they've finished adjusting Apple Silicon for the task; it will be very interesting to see what happens in the M6 and M7. I think their strategy is broadly correct, actually; I think there's still a bit of scope for "sit and wait and do it right" here. But acquiring more edge AI tech and edge AI people would potentially be in their interest.

  They didn't buy Perplexity and it indeed rather seems like Perplexity may have damaged the deal by blurting. Whether things are different now I don't know, but Prism would potentially be a good acquisition. This is not the first Bonsai model from Prism using this technology, and they've also applied this technology to an image model. The model aspect isn't that significant (even in this news), because it is Qwen, under the hood. The encoding efficiency is. Prism's technology might be valuable, and their team could well be. And they very evidently do care a lot about efficient on-device AI; they just don't care about developing frontier cloud models.
