Device Model Marketplaces
Projection: Apple now pairs third-generation local models with developer-facing framework interfaces, while DeepSeek V4 supplies open-weight Pro and Flash variants with distinct capability and efficiency profiles. Those conditions could support installable device specialists declaring hardware needs, data access, and updates. Verification and revocation remain unsolved marketplace requirements.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
Apple documents AFM 3 on-device and Private Cloud Compute models plus current developer framework interfaces; DeepSeek documents open-weight V4 Pro and Flash. These are current premises for a device-model marketplace, not evidence that such a marketplace already exists.
