There are rumors around that Apple is trying to buy perplexity which makes no sense to me.
Perplexity doesn’t have their own foundation model they just wrap existing models so what good are they? They should buy Mistral instead.

Regardless i dont accept the false constraint the Apple simply must buy a foundation model or whatever that means. Perplexity's "wrapper" does a better job than chatgpt or geminiin its domain.
Imagine an updated Spotlight that would allow the user to enter any query, obtaining information from the internet, enriched with their local context/data.
LLM Siri is an entirely different concern than Apple potentially acquiring Perplexity. I view them as two wildly different initiatives.
