Nah, Apple made the right choice. Nobody except a niche market of hobbyists is interested in running tiny quantized models.

About the same niche market as the people who bought the Apple I, and we know where that went.

  • The Apple I was a pretty poor predictor of what mainstream mass-market computing was going to end up looking like. I don't think anybody has yet come up with the Apple II of local LLMs, let alone the VisiCalc or Windows 95.
