Historical update
Mark Gurman, clearly more verbose on weekends, takes the opportunity to return to possible partnership between Cupertino and OpenAi. A few weeks ago there was talk of simple negotiations, but both firms may well move further in negotiations.
The journalist does claim that the latter will be at an advanced stage and will deal more specifically using OpenAI technologies to operate a chatbot integrated into iOS 18. On the other hand, we don’t know for sure whether it’s intended to complement or replace Siri!
Finally, nothing has been decided yet because Apple will still be negotiating with Google to license Gemini.
Features right on iPhone
First round of AI features may fail Apple servers, but iPhone (Does this mean they’re reserved for the iPhone 16 or even the iPhone 16 Pro, leaving all other generations behind? We don’t hope so!).
Indeed, Mark Gurman (also he) estimated that they would be fully hosted on the device. This means that the company’s language model lacks a cloud processing component.
.
Apple will likely offer some cloud-based AI capabilities that could use Google’s Gemini or something else. Apple has indeed been in discussions with companies like Google, OpenAI and Baidu in China about potential generative AI partnerships.
Siri is enhanced by artificial intelligence (but not only that)
For several weeks now, Mark Gurman is confident and expects that iOS 18 will be biggest iPhone update
. The system may have artificial intelligence technology that should Improve the way Siri and the Messages app can answer questions and automatically complete suggestions.
. This new version of Siri could be based on large language model technology similar to ChatGPT (OpenAI) or Gemini (Google). So the assistant could animate still images using AI!
However, there is one drawback: Apple is unlikely to launch its own AI chatbot in iOS 18. But the journalist confirms that the firm has been in discussions with companies such as Google, OpenAI and Baidu about potential partnerships in the field of generative AI.
