This article doesn’t have any sources, and all of the sites talking about this are pretty unreliable. I’ll believe it’s real when the reliable rumor sites pick it up.
That said, Apple Intelligence has three tiers of prompt processing. Apple’s private on-device model, Apple’s private cloud model for more complex prompts, and external model integration for the most complex prompts processing. The latter is model agnostic.
Apple launched with ChatGPT as an optional integration, but in theory, it could plug into whatever. Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.
Apple will probably just swap GPT for DeepSeak in China, just like they swap Google for Baidu with search.
I’m surprised they did eggs. A Canada-side tariff would lower demand for Canada, and increase supply for the US. In theory, it should lower US prices for Trump, and increase prices for Canada.
American farmers get fucked, but the Canadian and American conservative pundits and politicians can argue about conservatism being good for egg prices, or some stupid shit like that.
Fuck the big tech companies and all, but I don’t buy the argument that there is no competition in the US. If you believe that, you’re not paying attention to the space. There are a fuckload of weird models being developed in the US. Some by big players, and some by smaller companies.
IMHO, this is the same thing that happens with every new big advancement. PCs, internet, mobile, etc. People invest a shit load of money in the early players, then a ton of those early investments don’t pan out.
And often times, the people that really stand out are the smaller disrupters or the companies that come in a little later.
