they're going to be using nvidia (or maybe AMD if they ever catch up) to train these models anyways

not necessarily so, in terms of tflops per $ (of apple’s cost of gpus, nit consumer), and tflops per watt their apple silicon is comparable if not better

If Apple currently ships a single product with better AI performance-per-watt than Blackwell, I will eat my hat.

flops/$ is simply not all (or even most) that matters when it comes to training LLMs.... Apple releases LLM research - all of their models are trained on nvidia.
