Honestly I can't believe Apple put that foundation model product out the door. I was so excited about it, but when I tried it, it was such a disappointment. Glad to hear you calling that out so I know it wasn't just me.

Looks like they have pivoted completely over to Gemini, thank god.

yeah, it is super limited but also you can now do

  cmd(){ local x c r a; while [[ $1 == -* ]]; do case $1 in -x)x=1;shift;; -c)c=1;shift;; *)break;; esac; done; r=$(apfel -q -s 'Output only a shell command.' "$*" | sed '/^```/d;/^#/d;s/^[[:space:]]*//;/^$/d' | head -1); [[ $r ]] || { echo "no command generated"; return 1; }; printf '\e[32m$\e[0m %s\n' "$r"; [[ $c ]] && printf %s "$r" | pbcopy && echo "(copied)"; [[ $x ]] && { printf 'Run? [y/N] '; read -r a; [[ $a == y ]] && eval "$r"; }; return 0; } 
cmd find all swift files larger than 1MB

cmd -c show disk usage sorted by size

cmd -x what process is using port 3000

cmd list all git branches merged into main

cmd count lines of code by language

without calling home or downloading extra local models

and well, maybe one day they get their local models .... more powerful, "less afraid" and way more context window.

In Apple’s defense, they did make it do something borderline useful while targeting a baseline of M1 Macs with 8 GB of RAM (and even less in phones).
