these are opposites
there is no "core code" from Gemini they could even use. They could run further training on the weights, but that's not happening in a million years. Google will not give Microsoft access to those.

@WandererUber They gave Apple access to those, Apples paying them a billion a year for the privilege

@Shadowman311 No they didn't. They gave Apple API access to use Gemini

@Shadowman311 okay they did sorry I should have looked further.
BUT I very much doubt that they allow them to train+resell the model

@WandererUber @Shadowman311 for as much money as apple has, who knows what is actually going down

@sickburnbro @Shadowman311 It was definitely surprising given
>Bloomberg noted this [1 billion dollar price tag] "seems incredibly cheap, considering all the other big tech giants are spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on their AI efforts."
that they would actually allow Apple to have access to the weights. It doesn't say Gemini 3 in that article and I wonder what kind of contractual safeguards they have against leaks. Because that happening is literally game over for an AI product.I wonder if they gave them Gemini 2 or something like a side model under the Gemini brand. Showing your flagship to your competitor seems insane

@WandererUber @Shadowman311 yeah, I mean it depends on what they are trying to do, essentially. If they're just trying to make Siri "better" you might not need Gemini 3, *and* the 1B might be Apple still has to provide their own hardware, so it might be basically 1B totally free for google.

@sickburnbro @Shadowman311 it's not even a might, it says explicitly everywhere that the model will run on apple hardware.
Which, again, I didn't expect Google to tolerate.
They will use Adapters to customize the model, i.e. not change the Gemini weights. I wonder if that's just an engineering challenge or if they have to because Google wouldn't let them train Gemini.
Not an ML engineer so further details are beyond me.

@sickburnbro @WandererUber @Shadowman311 Remember, Google pays Apple to use their search engine. A large part of the equation is access to iPhone users.

@RobCaruso @sickburnbro @Shadowman311 article says google gets no access. that is the whole point of what we are talking about. Apple has the weights so the data never leaves their custody
