Apple owning an open-weight LLM hosting strategy would be the single best product strategy for their hardware.

Apple owning an open-weight LLM hosting strategy would be the single best product strategy for their hardware. | 100% I think that because it you know it's going to go way beyond open claw as we just discussed but I it is it would be so such a breakthrough for Apple uh in their thinking and organizationally and culturally for them to go for it on like you know farms losters that like it would be surprising if they did it. It's very obviously a fantastic idea. It's probably the single best product strategy idea.
