Yeah exactly, local AI is the long term future. Open weight models running on your desk are already good enough for a lot of tasks, and quickly getting better.

Apple are in a very good position here and don’t really need to do all that much other than continue to iterate on their existing hardware.

Compare that to Anthropic, OpenAI who must spend insane amounts to host their closed weight models, which seem to be unprofitable at any prices people are actually prepared to pay. As local AI improves these companies have no other business to fall back on. I know which company I’d rather be CEO of right now.
