It’s a little disappointing that even big companies like Apple jump on OpenAI instead of building their own thing. Diversity seems pretty important with AI.

Unfortunately OpenAI has a pretty big "dollars and hours spent on GPUs" moat right now. I imagine Apple is already hard at work building their own models, but until then they will leverage 3rd parties

Apple has 10x more on reserve cash than the entirety of OpenAI when they trained GPT-4. I don't think OpenAI could have possibly spent $5B or more for training first version of GPT-4(which was trained before GPT-3.5 gained traction), which is a pocket change for Apple for such a core feature.

I have only one question: can I turn it off?

Turn off what part and why? They announced several new systems, much of which runs on-device, one of which is simply an improved Siri. I was surprised by how considerate they seemed about AI data privacy, even for Apple.

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)

Google Maps, YouTube, on the original iPhone?

All the interesting features appear to be de novo models from Apple? Only the last fallback-to-ChatGPT feature interacts with OpenAI.

There has never been a better time to move to Linux. Have you tried Omakub? Manjaro? Mint? Ubuntu 24? These are polished and complete alternatives and your favorite app probably has a Linux build already!

| These are polished and complete alternatives Are they though? I just setup ubuntu 24 for my son to play games and it's comparatively a very unpolished experience. I'm being very polite when I say that.

That's interesting - it was Ubuntu 24 that made me feel confident the first time to recommend to non-computer enthusiasts. What about Ubuntu 24 came off unpolished to you, if you don't mind me asking?

Oh, well, many apps will have a hard time competing with “Apple Intelligence” features. Why bother downloading a third-party app if some feature you want is included by default in the OS?

Better yet, no more dealing with overpriced subscriptions or programs that do not respect user privacy.

Kudos to the Apple software team making useful stuff powered by machine learning and AI!

Have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by what Apple showed today with all this Personal AI stuff. And it proves that the real power of consumer AI will be in the hands of the platform owners where you have most of your digital life in already (Apple or Google for messaging, mail, photos, apps; Microsoft for work and/or life). The way Siri can now perform actions based on context from emails and messages like settin…

Apple Intelligence stuff is going to be very big. iOS is clearly the right platform to marry great UX AI with. Latching LLMs onto Siri have allowed the Siri team to quickly atone for its sins.

I think the private compute stuff to be really big. Beyond the obvious use the cloud servers for heavy computing type tasks, I suspect it means we're going to get our own private code interpreter (proper scripting on iOS) and this is probably Apple's path to eventually allowing development on iPad OS.

Not only that, Apple is using its own chips for their servers. I don't think the follow on question is whether it's enough or not. The right question to ask is what are they going to do bring things up to snuff with NVDIA on both the developer end and hardware end?

There's such a huge play here and I don't think people get it yet, all because they think that Apple should be in the frontier model game. I think I now understand the headlines of Nadella being worried about Apple's partnership with OpenAI.
