Omni usually means multimodality (in terms of input and/or output type, text, images, audio, etc)

Yes, but not commonly. Hence my request for elaboration

Yeah honestly fair point Though I imagine it’s more about getting upfront payment for tickets to cover suppliers

The organisation has to still pay their suppliers, and have to comply with anti money laundering laws

Breaking TOS isn't illegal per se. It just allows for denial of services, and may define terms by which the provider can reclaim costs.

Yeah, the 15 owners got hosed badly by it, especially since they were marketing it as the "AI iPhone" when it launched. Personally, new Siri is the only reason to upgrade from 13 Pro, and it's just not worth the money to both

I think technically it can, but the cameras are black and white, so it would be very subpar for AR out of the box. There is some chatter about using the expansion port to add a 3rd party colour camera to get over this, but I wouldn't h

I wish they allowed iCloud subscribers with older hardware to use cloud-only Siri AI. I imagine they wouldn't shift as much hardware that way though.

Yes, as the owner of an LG OLED, I paid a premium for a good quality panel, and expect it to be mine. Also, I anticipated ads on a smart TV (unfortunately it's inevitable), but (wrongly) assumed that such invasive tracking and "we

Given that they push capabilities at the pareto frontier, yeah A lot of us use these in our services, so we're getting an upgrade "for free"

Sold after the price rise from this announcement. They can make the sales projection, but it doesn't mean they'll hit it: 1. Small models are rapidly growing in capability, require less compute to train and serve 2. There are more

IMO Opus 5 wasn't that great at launch, but 4.8 was definitely downgraded just prior. Agree that Sol is a great model. I find that it's improved a bit but I mostly attribute this to its eagerness to use the harness' memory fe

Bending Spoons' entire business model is buying businesses that are failing/non-profitable despite having customers. Is it much of a surprise that the first thing they do is to massively increase pricing to make RoI?

I don't recall her name, but a past government hired a consultant before implementing the age verification laws, who warned that this would obviously happen, and they promptly fired her.

AFAIK there isn't currently a direct competitor, but your best bet is to setup your own LLM gateway, and add various providers to it (beyond the frontier labs, there are the open-weights hosters, like baseten, fireworks, etc) It's
