The Big danger in this: remember Sun Microsystems, their servers & the Web Mk I & II that lead to the hubris of Java and them being eaten by Oracle < spit >.

Yep, Apple left the server business because it provided no selective advantage. Its server OS and hardware just could not fully compete.

But AI servers may provide an opening. Apple has its own silicon that no one else has that not only uses less power but may well have somne real advantages with its Neural engine.

I would expect Apple to have developed its own server to use for its own AI needs, so it can tell its users that their data will be secure. Instead of renting servers from others, this would give it control. If it has such a server, I think this is the reason for its development.

But it would also allow them to have a new product to sell. Everyone has been looking at Apple for AI software, but what if it had a real chance to provide high pwoered AI servers based on its own silicon? It would be fun.
