I just received some interesting emails !

What does this mean ? Well …

1. Apple does not take as big a cut on app sales.
2. I get free access to Apple’s cloud LLM AI models.

The model access will become part of the development of my app REAPER Assistant (this is a working name as I don’t think I can use “REAPER” in the final product name) which evolved from Pilot for Ableton.

Apple’s AI approach prioritises models running on the local device for specialised tasks. This is how the iPhone or Mac can have Siri AI search your emails or set a new calendar entry. But for more advanced work the prompt is forwarded to Apple’s cloud models. They are quite different to what other providers serve being privacy first services.

These models will handle more advanced tasks for REAPER Assistant.

Thanks to Apple for letting me on board ! 😄
