Apple has one of the most productive and capable AI teams in silicon valley given their microscopic budget.
Very few people have used Apple's LLMs (yeah they publish the weights and everything. I was running them on Linux before it was even possible to use them on iPhones lol) and they're remarkably efficient.
The problem is that Apple's leadership can't handle users having access to anything that isn't canned and completely on rails. All they can make are appliances. They've reached the end of Job's "appliance not a computer" vision. What's an information appliance that's mostly consumption oriented?
A TV. Apple makes TVs and that's all they make. Granted modern TVs are fancier than 20th century TVs but it's still not something that deserves a 35x multiple.
