A single speaker (labeled SPEAKER A) delivers a short opinion piece about Apple admitting it was behind in AI and partnering with Google. The speaker emphasizes that distribution — owning customer relationships and access — matters more than owning AI models, argues companies can 'rent' models from providers like Google, and cites their firm, Martel Ventures, which builds AI-powered software for small businesses. The tone is analytical/optimistic about the implications of the partnership.

Apple intelligence. Guess what? They just admitted that they were way behind. They announced that they partner with Google. It's no longer about the AI race who's got the best model. It's distribution. Distribution, distribution. It's always been that. And that's what Apple realized. It doesn't need to own the model. Google can be the model. If you control the distribution, you can rent the intelligence. That's what I've been saying for a long time. At Martel Ventures, we build AI powered software for small businesses. We don't need to build the models. We need to own the relationship with the customer. And that's what Apple just proved. With relationship with Google, the future is going to get really exciting.
