Even though Apple has achieved artificial intelligence with iOS 18, it is obviously looking to develop its own artificial intelligence system.In this sense, it was revealed that Apple is working with Broadcom for the artificial intelligence processor Baltra. Apple, which wants to build an artificial intelligence server, wants to use its own processors instead of Nvidia processors. However, with this new plan, the new high-performance M processor developed for Mac was also shelved.
Did Apple cancel the M5 for the AI chip Baltra?
It was previously revealed that Apple would use M4 processors in artificial intelligence servers. It is not known whether this plan, which continues with TMSC, is still in effect. However, Apple is looking to deploy its AI server processor called Baltra in 2026. In this sense, there is a possibility that the artificial intelligence server will be built on the Baltra processor.
So why is Apple looking to build an AI server? Although the partnership with ChatGPT is important for now, the company wants to have its own servers. This could lead to a future AI system that runs on a smartphone and is supported by a server.

The first plan was to include M4 processors and then M5 processors in these servers. However, the company is apparently taking things more seriously with the Baltra processor developed for artificial intelligence. This could be the first step for Apple to build its own AI language and AI service.
While the partnership with OpenAI is important, Apple may have security concerns here. Again, Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft have already started to divide the artificial intelligence pie. For the first time, Apple prefers to follow rather than lead in a technology race.
In this sense, Apple’s AI processor step could mean that it will establish its own AI ecosystem. In fact, Apple has been working on developing its own AI language for about a year. Whether this effort is related to this plan is unknown.
