Curious, why would Apple want to wait for "all this" to implode? They've had on-device silicon for AI for eons now (in AI-years), so they could have been executing their strategy, whatever it is, all this time, no?

My outsider take is that Apple leadership never really believed in the capability of GenAI, and hence kept pursuing their pre-LLM strategy. An interesting signal about how that's working out now is that their AI org leadership was overhauled recently.
