No, absolutely not. Apple is not interested in competing with OpenAI or Anthropic in the AI-as-a-service space, and MM1 is not a product. Apple wants on-device AI, and the research they're publishing is to show competency and establish career capital for their current AI researchers and potential hires. Note how the paper only compares their work to prior research, not to the big proprietary models like GPT-4 or Claude.
