Honestly, who cares about anything AI-related that Apple does? Their head of MLX team just quit after months of threatening to leave due to MLX not being Apple's priority. Their Siri is a joke even Samsung Bixby works better than that. They switch between AI providers (OpenAI → Google) like you can "just change the LLM bro", and their M-series hardware is held back by lack of quality software and compute despite people literally begging them to improve it.
I was looking forward to upgrade my M1 Pro to M5 Max (128GB) until Awni (MLX head) quit. The new team isn't that responsive on X, and bugs keep getting piled up like they don't care if MLX is actually used in practice. After 3 years they still don't have a decent MLX server. Wanna try Qwen3.5? You can't use mlx_server because Qwen is a VLM. For that you must use MLX-VLM but that is not official and has tons of bugs. Apple refuses to open-source ANE source code even to their own MLX team.
