Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
NVIDIA is collaborating with Apple and Google to bring Confidential Computing capabilities to Apple's Private Cloud Compute (PCC) using NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. Announced at WWDC, this expansion moves Apple Intelligence server-side inference beyond Apple's own data centers to Google Cloud. The NVIDIA GPUs will support Apple Foundation Models, which are built by Apple and Google using technologies behind the Gemini family of models, enabling next-generation Apple Intelligence features.
