Apple M3 Ultra - Hackdot

Apple are working on the hard problems of making AI useful (call them “agents”), not AGI

1. Small models running locally with well-established tool interfaces (“app intents”)

2. Large models running in a bespoke cloud that can securely and quickly load all relevant tokens from a device before running inference

No AI lab is even close to what Apple is trying to deliver in the next ~12 months

if that were the case, then it would definitely help Apple Intelligence if the iPhone and Mac had higher amounts of RAM, but the base MacBook Pro announced by Apple a while ago had 8 GB of RAM and even the pro versions of the iPhone have 8GB whereas 12, 16, or even higher RAM is very common in android devices which helps users run relatively large language models on their devices

All iPhone SoCs made after ChatGPT launched start with 8gb, and all Mac SoCs start with 16hlgb
