CoreAI is perceived merely as a supplementary feature rather than a strategic platform, whereas competitors are redefining user interactions with devices, content, and tools within AI-first ecosystems. A key paradox lies in its insistence on local inference, which compromises the model's depth and real-time updates. Additionally, its stringent App Store control stifles innovation and the development of third-party models. This lack of engagement with developers is crucial because, without their involvement, CoreAI risks losing relevance in the future.
