I'm glad Apple invented AI. Now they'll put a fancy new name on it and consumers will believe it.

#192anyone know what is the best open source model that allows commercial use and can run locally on an iphone?

With iOS 17 they added a tiny little LLM to the predictive typing. I have the newest and greatest iPhone but I feel that I very rarely see it in action. I must assume that it’s just too slow at to keep up with my typing at the moment. Or it’s just not large enough to give very many useful suggestions.
It’s probably why autocomplete got drastically worse, to the point I’m considering turning it off entirely. Most “AI” features are so incredibly fragile they’re not worth deploying.
It seems to have reset, but I find it’s actually much better than before after some intervention/training when I first updated.

It does not matter much if they do not make competitor for iPhones and get consumers to choose them. Because consumers keep buying iPhones and will have then Apple hardware. And they cannot bring software ecosystem for their hardware without Google, at least easily.
It doesn't matter because Apple would not offer OpenAI actual integration terms, period. Their only option is to create an alternative hardware platform, because Apple fights tooth-and-nail to pick and choose what software iPhone users are allowed to run.
That is what I was saying…

They are implying that even though Apple is a wealthy consumer hardware company that has major spats with nVidia and Samsung, it doesn't always make economic sense to make tools they might need in-house when they can simply buy them from a rival. So rather than invest engineering resources to re-imagine the fridge, they can simply buy them from established manufacturers that make household appliances like Samsung, So…
Apple doesn't make silly charts saying they make better refrigerators.
Because they don't sell refrigerators

#196I really hope Apple releases an iPhone with a good on-device private LLM assistant, perhaps next year. Their hardware is well-positioned for it. It could make me get a new phone outside of my usual ~4 year cycle. Siri is almost unusable for me.
GPT-4 voice is so, so good. Really what you would want a voice tool to be like. I can talk to it like a normal human being, unlike issuing specific commands loudly as with Siri.

The point of this thread is that even though Apple makes silly charts saying how good their hardware is at ML, they use products that their silly charts say aren't as good.
There is no such hypocrisy if they use Samsung refrigerators.
Re: Ferret: A Multimodal Large Language Model
#198Can someone define the term “MLLM”?
Also, is FERRET an acronym?
I would guess it’s wordplay on other models being named after animals (llama, vicuña) and figurative use of “ferret”.

Really? Typing in my iPhone 12 Pro has become a nightmare. I suspect it is because of predictive typing ML shit. It happens all the freaking time now. The symptom is that my whole device just froze for a few seconds while the next word is squeezed out. How do I turn it off?
Compared to Android, the iOS keyboard has always been a nightmare. However, wI feel it has been causing me fewer issues within the past month-ish. Has it been updated recently?

Which dozen times has Apple released something decades ahead of the competition? I'm blanking on 4-12.
Spotify / Apple Music Netflix + Hulu / Apple TV+ Generic Earbuds / AirPods Meta Quest / Apple Vision Pro (The last one being a hopeful wish)
? AppleTV and Apple Music are not decades ahead of anything. AirPods are way better than the existing Bluetooth headsets that were on the market.
