A better partner for Apple would be xAi with Grok. They currently appear to be iterating faster than the rest and also have a lower user base than the rest which may mean that they are more open for the massive distribution that Apple could offer.

Yeah, no. I don't see Apple working with X on anything here. It reluctantly brought back advertising to avoid additional pressure and lawsuits from the current administration. I understand there are fans of xAi that seem to ignore its psychopath leader, but I doubt Apple could trust it with anything.

Would xAi really agree to something that required it to respect user privacy and not absorb data from queries? They'd likely just break whatever promise they make and take in user data on purpose, and when they're caught, call it a "bug." It's Musk's entire playbook.

If people want to hang out at the Nazi bar and use the Nazi-endorsed AI platform, by all means, but let's be realistic here. Apple isn't touching that politically charged garbage with a ten foot pole. I mean, how can anyone take it seriously when Musk says Grok is broken when it tells the truth, asserting he's going to have it fixed so it doesn't tell the truth again later?

Just disgusting incompetence Apple needs to avoid.

Crazy that the stock is up on this news, because it officially confirms that Apple ideas way behind. 

Is it (as the article says) true, that ChatGPT or Anthropic will run on device, so that they don’t get API data from Apple? 

Otherwise, it is no good news for Apple for long term. 

First point: no, this confirms nothing about Apple being "way behind"

Second: ChatGPT already runs via Siri without getting data from Apple or the user. Private Cloud Compute is server side, but independently verified to not be storing user data.

Third: How is giving users access to more private and secure models using Apple technology a bad thing for Apple?
