> Windows ML is the built-in AI inferencing runtime optimized for on-device model inference...lets both new and experienced developers build AI-powered apps

This sounds equivalent to Apple's announcement last week about opening up access for any developer to tap into the on-device large language model at the core of Apple Intelligence[1]

No matter the device, this is a win-win for developers making & consumers getting privacy-focused apps
