Well, it finally came to an end. We had a negative week. Still doing great. Reminder to all, check out the AAPL Predictions Thread Put your guess in for where AAPL will end the year. When AAPL closed 2022 at $129.93, who would have guessed we would be so close to $200? Get your estimates in for where AAPL will be close in 2024.

A peek into Apple's AI efforts: venturebeat.com/ai/apples-latest-ai-research-could-completely-transform-your-iphone/Dec 20th Apple’s latest AI research could completely transform your iPhone Apple’s strategic vision Both papers demonstrate Apple’s growing leadership in AI research and applications. While promising, experts caution that Apple will need to exercise great care and responsibility when incorporating these technologies into consumer products. From privacy protection to mitigating misuse, the societal impact must be considered. As Apple potentially integrates these innovations into its product lineup, it’s clear that the company is not just enhancing its devices but also anticipating the future needs of AI-infused services. By allowing more complex AI models to run on devices with limited memory, Apple is potentially setting the stage for a new class of applications and services that leverage the power of LLMs in a way that was previously unfeasible. Furthermore, by publishing this research, Apple is contributing to the broader AI community, which could stimulate further advancements in the field. It’s a move that reflects Apple’s confidence in its position as a tech leader and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. If applied judiciously, Apple’s latest innovations could take artificial intelligence to the next level. Photorealistic digital avatars and powerful AI assistants on portable devices once seemed far off — but thanks to Apple’s scientists, the future is rapidly becoming reality.

Another indicator of how strong Apple can be in AI. Mistral shocks AI community as latest open source model eclipses GPT-3.5 performance venturebeat.com/ai/mistral-shocks-ai-community-as-latest-open-source-model-eclipses-gpt-3-5-performance/AI early adopters have already downloaded Mixtral 8x7B and begun running it and playing with and have been blown away by its performance. Thanks to its small footprint, it can also run locally on machines without dedicated GPUs including Apple Mac computers with its new M2 Ultra CPU. Mistral’s new LLM, known as Mixtral 8x7B, is an open-weight LLM with a permissive license (i.e. it’s mostly open-source) that reportedly matches or even outperforms OpenAI’s closed-source GPT-3.5. It also outperforms Meta’s LLaMa 2 70B while running 6x faster—making it the strongest open-weight model to date.

OK, one market week to go in 2024...and, as CdnPhoto said in the opening post, AAPL had a negative week after 7 continuously positive weeks...bummer. AAPL was down -2.4% from its close the previous week...while the other 6 stocks on the table all had positive weeks...from MSFT, barely positive at +0.1%, up to GOOG, which was up +5.8% from the previous week. Highest % of Previous ATH % Gains/Losses for W/E: 12/22/23
