This on-device, private cloud compute, and tight hardware-software integration take may be first useful for all genAI we’ve seen so far. Apple may have actually nailed this one. Edit: except for image generation. That one sucks
Followed by maybe search engines once it gets to a certain level of quality (which we seem to be a bit far from).
Then either desktop or home(alexa).
So was there ever a deal with OpenAI? Nothing in the keynote mentioned them or needs them. If there isn’t a deal, I’d love to know how everyone claiming it was signed on the dotted line was led so far down that garden path.
I'm quite confident in the ability of openAI to provide a great usable LLM tech, but much less so of apple. All the demo they've shown in the WWDC could just fall flat if the tech really isn't working well enough in practice. I guess we'll just have to wait and see..
I am pretty unhappy with Apple doing the image generation, was really hoping that just would not happen. But a lot of the other features actually seem useful without feeling shoehorned in. At least so far. I am hoping that I can turn off the ability to use a server while keeping local processing, but curious what that would actually look like. Would it just say "sorry can't do that" or something? Is it that there is…
I'll be curious to see if Apple gets caught with some surprise or scandal from unexpected behavior in their generative models. I expect that the rollout will be smoother than Bing or Google's first attempts, but I don't think even Apple will prove capable of identifying and mitigating all possible edge cases.
I noticed during the livestream that the re-write feature generated some pretty bad text, with all the hallmarks of gen AI content. That's not a good sign for this feature, especially considering they thought it was good enough to include in the presentation.
This seems really cool. They said the models can scale to "private cloud compute" based on Apple Silicon which will be ensured by your device to run "publicly verifiable software" in order to guarantee no misuse of your data. I wonder if their server-side code will be open-source? That'd be positively surprising. Curious to see how this evolves. Anyway, overall looks really really cool. If it works as marketed, then…
I assume it will come to all the iPhone 16’s this fall? Or is Apple Intelligence a Pro Feature?
Either way, my first reaction is that this is going to sell a lot of iPhones.
"we also intend to add support for other models" When they pay us sufficiently It's great that Apple is capitalizing so well on everyone else's inventions, but couldn't they at least pretend they will give something back to the ecosystem? I wish someone somewhere creates something like intents for the web browser
It was a very quick mention, but Siri will now have a text button directly on the lock screen. If we assume AI will get even 3-4x better, at a certain point, I can't help but think this is the future of computing. Most users on mobile won't even need to open other apps. We really are headed for agents doing mostly everything for us.
My home is filled with Apple HomePods even though Siri is dumb as rocks. Looking forward to my house gaining a few IQ points. I don’t see anything that mentions HomePod specifically but hopefully the updates will come.
