Nukes gave us peace and freedom. We've had no WW3 (so far) and no one here needs to worry about being drafted into a war. Gatling might have thought his gun would reduce the number of war fatalities, but but Oppenheimer thought he woul

In my conversations with people at Apple, my understanding is that they do not use CoreML. Instead, they have access to lower level libraries that allow more direct programmatic control of the hardware. CoreML is the crappy middleware they

Yeah, this is why I was begging investors for a high-level intro to someone at Apple, because I was very afraid that I’d run into some random bureaucrat that would have a similar response.

It sounds like your experience differs from mine. I oversaw teams trying to use CoreML in the 2020 - 2024 era who found it very buggy, as per the screenshots I provided. More recently, I personally tried to convert Kokoro TTS to run on ANE.

Your bar is higher than mine. Unlike Apple's formal "developer evangelist" and several others I contacted, the guy actually took the time to talk to us, and I was/am grateful for that. He's a cog in a very large cor

I mean, to be fair, these events happened several years ago. My memory is as faulty as any other human being's, but as far as I remember, this is exactly what happened. These were very memorable events that I remember distinctly. It&#x

Yes, MLX is for research, but MLX-Swift is for production and it works quite well for supported models! Unlike CoreML, the developer community is vibrant and growing. https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-swift Maybe I am

> Why would someone say "You're a mosquito. Apple will just stomp on you and you will not exist.", it makes zero sense to me given the context laid out here. I'm telling you what I was told. It's a true story. I

OP here: I can see why you'd think "this can't possibly be real," but I assure you that the story is real, not exaggerated. I was there.

I don't get what's so weird about MLX. Apple's focus is obviously on MLX / Metal going forward. The only reason to use CoreML these days is to tap into the Neural Engine. When building for CoreML, if one layer of your mo

Our app wasn't running on CPU or GPU –– the actual software we built was running entirely on Apple Neural Engine and it was crazy fast because we designed the architecture explicitly to run that specific chip. We were just calling the

I can see why you'd be skeptical. It was pretty insane what we did.

Did you read it? And why do you assume that it can't be interesting? Honestly, as a writer, I sometimes spend a bunch of time writing an essay that's the result of a conversation, and I realize –– hours later –– that the conversat

In 2021, I built the first real-time video generation AI app for Apple Silicon. It was revolutionary - until it started melting iPhones. When my demo literally burned Sam Altman's hand, I discovered that Apple's on-device AI hardw
