This is not suprising. Anthropic models are clearly better than OpenAI ones. OpenAI no longer has a secret sauce that everyone wants to pay billions for.

Okay, I have no idea what the hell is going on here. I don't follow this stuff, and last I heard, Sam Altman was the good guy who was kicked out of OpenAI because he was focused on ethics while they were focused on profit.
Yes, but that got reversed completely and now Sam Altman is still in charge and the company is prioritizing profits
he was focused on ethics
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Sorry this was my first laugh of the day.
That's good marketing. OpenAI recently went for profit on steroids. They are increasing chatgpt plus price, they backed out of providing free credits to startups, they also made it so Sam Altman would have full control over the company (basically non-profit board is no longer involved).
Not to mention sama first made outrageous claims about how he needs a crazy amount of energy for AI training and now that MS and other governments are starting to fulfill those requirements, he is changing the goal post to even more outrageous claims. Like literally he said if the world does not do this, there will be wars fought over AI in the future and only rich people will have access to AI.
Well, that's 2 of the biggest companies on Earth, TSMC and Apple, within a week to tell Sam A to kick rocks.
So what does this mean for the so called apple intelligence that was coning out later next year?
Apple intelligence is their own project, with their own models. They bought a company specialized in AI at the edge (or on device). All the "AI" that will interact with user's data is Apple's.
Still waiting to see what the chat-gpt integration is exactly, but the more I read about the more it seems it just the usual writing assistant that we will soon find in every text and image editor and the hint that they will offer Gemini or other model as well really mean they haven't tied any real features to it.
That makes more sense thanks bud!
According to the keynote at least, the integration is literally just Siri offering to defer to ChatGPT for some requests. Basically a more advanced version of "here's what I found on the web" if it doesn't know what to do otherwise.
Funnily enough, Apple isn't even paying OpenAI for that, they're literally saying it's for exposure.
Such an apple thing to do. They are full of themselves as usual
It's their inhouse project, so if they'll probably focus their efforts on it if they're no longer investing in 3rd party.
As a degenerate who bought the new iphone for a much needed upgrade, this sounds promising
There are a lot of reasons why Apple would back out. I wish we had more info.
probably just price. OpenAI does not have the edge over competition it once had.
I'd guess the 3 key staff members leaving all at once without notice had something to do with it.
Not to mention TSMC told Sammy a couple days ago that his business isn't worth $7T spent on scaling up their operations. Major companies do not see the value in AI. It's a flash in the pan technology and solves few if any problems.
I hope the AI bubble bursts
I also doubt their Apple deal last 5 years,..

I didn't expect it wouldn't even last 2 days. 😅
Neural Net AI peaked last year, there is nothing new of that same magnitude to be mined
