Am I understanding correctly that some AI will run on Apple servers? So not completely offline AI. If so that's somewhat disappointing given how much AI power Apple hardware packs. > Apple sets a new standard for privacy in AI, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers

The interesting thing I took from that is they are making servers with M-series chips. Maybe they're just rack mounted Mac Minis? But if Apple decides that crap, maybe it'll get them to a point where they decided to make a proper rack mountable form factor available???

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.

There's an integration with ChatGPT, that requires user approval every time.

Regarding OpenAI, has Apple in its history ever relied so heavily on a 3rd party for software features? (TSMC for hardware, but it seems very un-Apple to be so dependent upon someone else for software capabilities like OpenAI)

They did it with Google Maps and YouTube. They also do this with the search engine used in Safari.

I believe they will just provide an interface in the future to plugin as a Backend AI provider to trusted parties (like the search engine) but will slowly build their own ChatGPT for more and more stuff.

> With onscreen awareness, Siri will be able to understand and take action with users’ content in more apps over time. For example, if a friend texts a user their new address in Messages, the receiver can say, “Add this address to his contact card.”

I wonder how they will extend this to business processes that are not in their training set. At https://openadapt.ai we rely on users to demonstrate tasks, then have the model analyze these demonostrations in order to automate them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> and OpenAI won’t store requests. What's a promise from Sam Altman worth, again?

Even if the promise were made in good faith, I fear it may be hard to resist pressure from law enforcement etc.

If Apple is sitting in the middle proxying the IP addresses, and not keeping any logs for longer than they absolutely need to, law enforcement could go pee up a rope, right?

> Apple sets a new standard for privacy in AI,

That does not necessarily mean better, just different. I reserve judgment until I see how it shakes out.

but if I don't like this feature, and can't turn it off, I guess it's sadly back to Linux on my personal laptops.

"Semantic Index" sure is a better name than "Recall". Question is whether I can exfiltrate all my personal data in seconds?

I mean I can already search my photos for “dog” or “burger” or words in text on photos. Adding an LLM to chat about it is just a new interface is it not?
