Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not sure Nvidia is too happy with Apple. They are the first ones to ship on-device inference at scale on non-nvidia hardware. Apple also has the means to build data center training hardware using apple silicon if they want to do so. If they are serious about the OAI partnership they could also start to supply them with cloud inference hardware and strongarm them into only using apple servers to serve iOS requests.

They will send requests that require larger contexts to their own Appl…

I'm pretty sure those points do not apply to ChatGPT integration. ChatGPT is still running on Nvidia.

"Siri add an alarm for an appointment for the dentist tomorrow at 10" Sets appointment for 10pm Will the Siri team be fired or are they in charge of openAI integration?

Its given that a dentist appointment is never usually at 10PM - this doesn't seem probable. LLMs are good at generalizing

I still don't know a single person who wants this crap. I don't want "AI" in my web browser, I don't want it in my email client, I don't want it on my phone, I just don't want it. And it feels like everyone I speak to agrees! So who is this all for?

Nah, I want it. I use it all the time to do things like translate obscure Kanji and learn more about certain religious texts. For example: https://chatgpt.com/share/4a31c79b-a380-4fa0-9808-8145e3cfb4... LLMs are very useful and very helpful, certainly more helpful than ony searching the web. Watching people apply the crypto lens to it is unfortunate for them, it's not a waste of electricity like most crypto, and it i…

I may be wrong, but the first GPT response says that kanji means "spirit" "soul" or "ghost" but a quick Google search says it means "drops of rain"... do you trust GPT on this matter?

This sounds like exactly what I wanted. There have been a number of times I've been in the car and wanting to ask Siri something it couldn't handle has been a lot e.g. "What state am I in, and how far am I to the border to the state I'm going to cross next, and can I pump my own gas on each state I'm driving through?" Though a bit of that is premised on whether it could extract information from google maps.

Of course that will only work if you're using Apple Maps.

IMO this really feels like the Facebook / Twitter integration from early iOS. That only lasted a few years. Apple clearly thinks it needs a dedicated LLM service atm. But still thinks it is only supplemental as they handle a bunch of the core stuff without it. And require explicit user consent to use OpenAI. And Apple clearly views it as a partial commodity since they even said they plan to add others. Tough to bet a…

Disagree. This feels more like the Google partnership with Apple' Safari that has lasted for long time. Except in this case, I think is OpenAI who will get the big checks.

Why would Apple want to keep paying big checks while simultaneously weakening their privacy story?

I think most of what you're talking about is going through Apple Intelligence, not chatGPT. That "Apple Intelligence" stuff is supposed to be more local and personal to you, accounting for where you are, your events, things like that. There's an API for apps to provide "intents," which Siri can use to chain everything together. (Like "cost of gas at the nearest gas station" or something like that.) None of that is OpenAI, according to the keynote.
