It's not that clear Apple/local-AI is necessarily going to directly compete that much with large models running in datacentres (outside of some relatively limited use cases) and there don't seem to be many signs that Nvidia h

So they are going to rises prices by $200 across the board? Or take a non-insignificant cut to their margins (RAM and storage upgrades are basically free money for them)?

I think the difference between 6GB and 8GB might be more significant than it seems when you subtract the OS and any other apps that are running.

Yeah but that usually only happens if I open Edge for some reason.

A non plasticky chassis, great touchpad and generally much better build quality and hardware (compared to the Framework) as long as you don't care about upgradeability and modularity it's on a whole other level.

It's basically an iPad (hardware wise) with a bigger screen and a keyboard attached. Why would that be an issue?

But that seems more like an US issue? In places which actually allow or even encourage free market competition providers tend to be able to keep their infrastructure up to date while still offering reasonably low prices.

It's not really that clear that LLMs would be particularly useful at generating the type of code someone working on NetBSD would find useful. They don't really seem to excel at writing memory safe(ish) low-level code or solving an

Yeah, I was thinking of their non-local model like Gemini advanced though. In any case iPhone probably don't have enough memory to run a 3.25B model? e.g. 15 pro only have 8 GB (and Gemini Nano seems to only work on the 12GB Pixel 8 P

You won't be able to run any model even as remotely as capable as Gemini locally though.
