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.

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 it will be an easy "shut up and take my money". Siri seems to finally be becoming what it was meant to be (I wonder if they're piggy-backing on top of the Shortcuts Actions catalogue to have a wide array of possible actions right away), and the image and emoji generation features that integrate with Apple Photos and other parts of the system look _really_ cool.

It seems like it will require M1+ on Macs/iPads, or an iPhone 15 Pro.

Lots of apps have been sherlocked once again and this marks the accelerated race to zero with Apple's entrance with on-device AI all system-wide.

No API keys, no prompt engineering or switching between AI models.

It. just. works.

Sam is there, and the presentation isn't yet finished:

I'm so happy about this. Siri has great voice recognition and voice synthesis, but it really struggled with intent, context, and understanding what I wanted it to do.

Combining the existing aspects of Siri with an LLM will, I expect, make it the best voice assistant available.

When does this roll out exactly? And exactly which inference actually is on-device?

I think people have been fooled by marketing for this one and the new Co-Pilot PCs into thinking that most of the AI really is running on-device. The models that run fast locally are still fairly limited compared to what runs in the cloud.
