If you're referring to Google, then you're right. But OpenAI has consistently delivered what they announced pretty quickly. Same with Microsoft. To think that Apple somehow has a secret sauce that helps them surprise everyone is an illusion. They've had 3 years now to show their interest in LLMs, but they're just too conservative to "think different" anymore.

I think LLMs are to inconsistent for Apple's taste, I mean that in both senses. Their perfectionism won't risk bad output, ever, which is impossible for LLMs

Nowhere near that. They’re a totally unproven tool with a lot of bad side effects. They just don’t want to go to market with that.

I mean they do truly useful stuff already using ML just not LLMs
