If Windows Mobile* and maybe the Catapult FPGAs** are any indication, those are relatively lower walls than Apple.

The still unbroken(?) Zune and Windows RT are two rare exceptions.

* - from the HTC HD2 to the latter Lumias like the 1020 and 950/XL

** - buy a Quartus license and you have boatloads of small-ish DIY networkable Arria 10 GX accelerators at your disposal.

Only the death of a lot of gravy trains and slush funds enabled by USAID and similar.

When an ungated (or even abliterated) public model can repeatedly, easily, and accurately embarrass Anthropic’s models, that might change.

I hope that such agreement gets broken hard and given the MSRC cold shoulder. If that means abliterated Qwen et al embarrasses Mythos to deliver a wider rollout, I’ll take that.

Trusting Anthropic to deliver is like asking Microsoft to pay out for bugs.
