New Delhi: It has not been long since Apple delayed the launch of the AI-supercharged Siri, and since then, there has been no word as to when users can expect the next-generation Siri upgrade, which was initially promised as part of the Apple Intelligence Suite. Apple may consider drawing on the expertise of the makers of ChatGPT, OpenAI, or Anthropic to power the next-generation Siri, potentially even setting aside its in-house models to do so.
Apple has spoken with both companies, Anthropic and OpenAI, to utilise their respective large language models to power Siri. Apple might ask these companies to train versions of their models that could be successfully run on Apple’s cloud infrastructure. According to some reports, this could be a significant change for Apple, as it currently relies on Apple Foundation models, which have been developed in-house, and most of the AI tools available in iOS are presently powered by these.
However, it was also mentioned that the Thai decision could be the result of the AI leadership change at Apple. For those unfamiliar, Rockwell was the lead behind the launch of Apple’s Vision Pro headset.
ChatGPT is already supporting the iPhone. Apple gives users the option to decide whether they want ChatGPT to be used to answer some of their queries, utilise visual intelligence features, or in general. Therefore, it would not be out of the ordinary for Apple to seek additional help from OpenAI to bolster its AI arsenal.
