They want to do it for themselves.

Being able to privately process stuff that is too expensive to do on devices.

A useful service to offer, and this is their offering that they announced in November.

So, again, no announcement from Apple about, I mean, there's some rumors.

I don't think we're going to cover them in the show.

Maybe we mentioned last time, but like the bifurcation of the Apple's rollout of their LLM tech where like 26.4 will have some stuff, but then like the

The chatbot thing will come later.

And the rumors about Apple using Google's TPUs and their data centers was about the later chatbots and not the 26.4 thing.

So we'll see.

Maybe there'll be another weird joint statement sometime around the next WWDC to say, oh, and Apple's going to be using Google's private cloud computer.

Maybe they just won't say anything and they'll rebrand it.

I think Marco was alluding to that last episode, like maybe they'll just keep saying private cloud computer.

And when you, the little asterisk will say either in Apple's data centers using our thing or in Google's data centers using their thing, which is basically the same thing.

I think they will talk about it because they've been advertising it like crazy.

They're definitely going to be using it, and Google's got the same thing.

So why would they ever memory hold it?

But I do think... Like, it's the same thing.

It's just, like, they're not running it.

Google is.

But it's the same idea that even Google doesn't have access to it and that you can prove that you're running on the hardware that they say you're running on.
