Episode notes
Apple's Cut Will Shape The LLM Marketplace
- Apple's cut and extension rules will determine which LLM vendors participate; keeping Apple's fee small encourages broader participation.
- Tom highlights Anthropic, Claude, Mistral and Gemini as likely extension providers who'll weigh Apple's revenue share.
Keep Apple's Cut Small To Attract LLMs
- Apple should keep its App Store cut low to attract many LLM extension providers.
- Tom advises minimal fees so users get genuine choice and vendors find it worthwhile to integrate with Siri.
Apple Could Focus Beyond Current LLMs
