re 3: I doubt Google is going to hand over the weights to Apple to put on device.

They wouldn’t fit.

[WorldMaker]

Not with that attitude.

Apple and Google have said that Private Cloud Compute will be involved as well, which Apple is trying to build a mystique of "on-device-like" trust. (Which yes, if Private Cloud Compute is involved and is secure in the ways that Apple says it is does presumably imply that the announced deal with Google includes selling Apple the complete model weights.)

Nor was such a thing implied. The information in the various news articles about it also don't make that claim.
