> For example, the article suggests $1T from enterprise productivity tooling. A quick Google suggests the global enterprise productivity tooling market is only worth about $0.1T right now

We tried to justify enterprise assistant budget to the CFO last quarter. They sent us packing after asking exactly how many headcount reductions we could guarantee post-purchase, which stalled the conversation immediately...


Quickly pulling up a manual through a chatbot offers only a surface-level grasp of an unfamiliar task

Our team migrated a chunk of internal parsers to local weights purely to kill off query costs. The cloud api bill dropped by two-thirds in a single month

Placing LLL inside the user message right ahead of the new query keeps the common conversation prefix fully intact


A timeline turns contradictory instructions into an orderly sequence of updates. Without it the model just gambles between the old guideline and the new one on every run


As long as the relative time parser is hardcoded for japanese, english sessions are stuck with manual ISO dates. Wiring up dateparser or duckling would take an evening , so leaving that on the roadmap is an odd choice


Tell that to the engineers doing 70 % more triage while their compensation stays flat


Apple hasn't been selling just ram for a long time, they sell vram. Try getting 512 gb of HBM on current Nvidia cards - it's gonna cost way more than $ 24k. And here you get the same amount of memory for weights right in a quiet unit under your desk

Put together a similar build with a couple of rtx 6000 Ada cards and Apple's price tag suddenly looks pretty damn reasonable


The RAM in the M5 is LPDDR5X, not HBM. You're right of course that it's unified and used as VRAM in that sense.


HBM itself is very expensive but it’s not really fair to compare to LPDDR or GDDR

They’re very different things.

The more logical argument to me is that Apple uses its upgrade price points as more than just direct BOM and rather as a proxy for things that are amortized across all their sales like support/warranty/etc so higher SKUs subsidize the costs of the lower ones.


Gonna go sell a kidney, should just about cover a base Mac Studio. Guess I'll need a payday loan for the power cable


If a kaiju shows up in the prompt, the weights will immediately drift from game theory into fiction. And by the laws of the genre, the military is obligated to drop a nuke on it - just to make the monster even angrier so it goes and trashes Tokyo
