@signulll I’m very bullish on Apple and AI. Everyone thinks they are laggards, I think they are playing a different game.

To me @perplexity_ai is starting to look like an appealing @Apple acquisition. A 5-year-old M1 Macbook Pro is already incredibly capable with local models. Some thoughts— macrumors.com/2026/05/07/per…

imagine if apple basically let you set up a home “server” that ran inference on that device with sophisticated models & every apple ecosystem device is a node off of that central server.
it’s complicated but if anyone can deploy hardware like this it would be them. this would allow zero marginal cost ai without any middle man with a super privacy first approach.
it would create another product category entirely. anyone remember the airport extreme?

What is missing is the remaining 10% when the task will need more compute. And that's the role @perplexity_ai is playing here. It's a model for how @Apple will become a dominant AI player.

Here's a quick visual tip to improve borders in your interfaces: use opacity instead of a solid color, and default to outside borders. Solid strokes look great on neutral backgrounds, but appear muddy or blurry if used on top of colors.

@benjitaylor TBH, I'm not a fan of the size changes on hover/active. I guess since they are stacked at least this doesn't shift other items.
