(And ChatGPT is not that great of a Mac app — it’s just the closest to good of the bunch.) The thing that really turns me off about the Gemini Mac app is Google’s gall. The Gemini app insta

Apple Working To Cram Massive Gemini Model Into iPhone To Power New Siri
Apple is reportedly working to shrink Google's Gemini models enough to power parts of a long-delayed AI-enhanced Siri on iPhones. But despite Apple's best efforts to run the AI locally, "the iPhone's Gemini makeover will lean heavily on Google and Nvidia in the cloud," reports Ars Technica.
