An LLM is a transformer model. That’s the standard, industry term. What are you going on about?
Nowhere does the press release say LLM. That's because it's not very large or smart and when compared to most LLMs' "intellectual" performance, it looks bad. By avoiding that term, they are successfully sidestepping an important aspect of the evaluation of this system in the eyes of many Apple fans.
So your gripe is that they don’t have a LLM and didn’t say they did?
