alt Hacker NewsI know they are a phone company, but I think they should focus on local models software, not only hardware.

Software wise there's plenty to choose from already. Ollama/llama.cpp, LM Studio, Lemonade, vllm etc. Anything Apple would bring to the table?
Apple has the mlx framework. Most/all major software for running models locally support it. Apple also has RDMA for interconnecting multiple machines across Thunderbolt connections.
their strength has been hardware for over 30 years now
Uhhh, they are? They’re a hardware co for sure, but to say they aren’t focusing on on-device models is absurd on its face. They’ve spent over 2 years on Siri AI which is (mostly) local.
My 100k company only buys Mac laptops and you're calling them a phone company. Such an odd comment.
They aren't a phone company, and haven't been ever. They're a hardware company first
