I cannot wait to see Apple's response. While Microsoft announcement seems rush and products half backed/thought, there are on to something. I would hope Apple would learn from it, and find the right path.

I would really like to have a AI companion that runs locally, on my dev laptop, tailored for my developer's needs. Something optimized for the hardware, and yet with tight privacy.

Apple... your turn!



Apple WWDC is in three weeks. I am not sure they can change anything based on the Microsoft announcement.


I am sure Apple is not surprised by any of this and they are not too worried.

They have had competent arm chips for years and will board the ai hypetrain in time.


Just cannot wait to see what they have been cooking :)


I agree that it might not arrive at WWDC unless Apple was already working on it for several years...

Nonetheless, I see this Microsoft initiative as a canary in the AI coal mine. I would hope Apple would learn from it.


I don't know if this is the case for others, but I'm seeing missing images on their laptop and tablet marketing pages. The new product line feels very rushed.


These don't run LLM locally
