Um, wow. The major question in my mind: did Apple pay, or did OpenAI pay? (A-la google for search).
Apple is not going to lose control of the customer, ever, so on balance I would guess this is either not a forever partnership or that OpenAI won’t ultimately get what they want out of it. I’m very curious to see how much will be done on device and how much will go to gpt4o out of the gate.
I’m also curious if they’re using Apple intelligence for function calling and routing in device; I assume so. Extremely solid offerings from Apple today in general.
I don't believe that. Apple is in the driver's seat in this negotiation. I believe OpenAI wanted Apple as a jewel in their crown and bent over backwards to get them to sign. I don't see how OpenAI makes any money off of this, but I do see them losing a lot of money as iOS users slam their service for free as they eat the costs.
