Wow they're finally getting it. The AI breakthrough will not come from procedural generation of memojis - but rather enabling developers to use your platform. But with the nearly hostile stance of your 30% take, we will see how far this goes.

What’s the ‘30% take’?

30% of all AppStore sales go right to Apple

Why would you limit users to Sonnet and not allow Opus when they are paying for their own account? I mean sure some people say Sonnet is good for coding but it seems needless to limit it in this way. Or they are just really slow to catch up… oh, right.

Yeah I don't get why they don't support Opus given that you're bringing your own API key.

you can use the API key, and it’ll give you access to all the model. This is Claude sign in using your account. If you’ve signed up for Claude Pro or Max then you can use it directly. But, they should give access to Opus as well.

They should document it that way.

My hot take is all OSes are kinda bad for daily driving. Apple has no qualms breaking backwards compatibility for core functions like bluetooth connectivity in MacOS. Windows has backwards compatibility, but increasingly worsening UX, throwing ads and subscriptions in your face before you can even log in, and a bad security/process isolation model. Desktop Linux is a case of "how many hours before I find out a critic…

I think they’re pretty amazing considering how hard a problem it is. Also, we forget how bad os’s used to be. They’re absolutely rock solid compared to the past.

I'm not trying to diminish the complexity of a desktop OS of course, but sometimes it's hard not to feel the priorities are all over the place. Don't get me wrong, I'm not nostalgic about Windows XP, I actually remember how many freezes and crashes I used to have back then.

My frustration is more born out of the OS rough edges constantly getting in the way of tasks I actually want to focus on and accomplish, which doesn't play well with my ADHD.

"Apple Intelligence", at least the part that's available to developers via the Foundation Models framework is a tiny ~3B model [0] with very limited context window. It's mainly good for simple things like tagging/classification and small snippets of text.

It seems every IDE now has AI built-in. That's a problem if you're working on highly confidential code. You never know when the AI is going to upload code snippets to the server for analysis.

If it's that confidential you should be on an airgapped network.

There's simply no way to properly secure network connected developer systems.

To run a model locally, they would need to release the weights to the public and their competitors. Those are flagship models. They would also need to shrink them way down to even fit. And even then, generating tokens on an apple neural chip would be waaaaaay slower than an HTTP request to a monster GPU in the sky. Local llms in my experience are either painfully dumb or painfully slow.

Hence the "come on".
