> NVIDIA hardware is widely used for academic and massive computations. Being able to write/test code locally on a Mac and then deploy to super computers would make a good developer experience.

That one stands out to me as a mac user.



MacBooks used to use Nvidia GPUs, then Apple had a falling out with Nvidia and the beef stands to this day (Apple didn’t use Nvidia hardware when training it’s own LLMs for Apple Intelligence).

I wouldn’t be surprised if within the next few years we see a return of Nvidia hardware to the Mac, probably starting with low volume products like the MacPro, strictly for professional/high-end use cases.

What did the poster make up? There's one line where they speculated about future and a commentary about beef existing to this day which is subjective but the rest of it was 100% factual: Apple relied on Google for training their LLM for various reasons and they did have a beef with NVIDIA re MacBooks a long time ago after which they switched the entire line to AMD Graphics.
