As long as the inference can be done locally on their chips I don't at all think it's a big deal to train models on Nvidia/other hardware.

Are all the iCloud servers running on Apple silicon? I assumed they were running on standard rack mounted hardware.

I think Apple considers cloud infrastructure a necessary evil and a commodity.

AI isn’t, yet at least, and I don’t think they can afford to treat it as such.
