At this point Apple is the only BigTech without any major investment in LLMs. Which isn't too surprising, they have historically never jumped on the shiny new thing until the dust clears off.
- digitcatphd 3y agoI do suspect they are making internal investments. The latest iOS update has substantially improved speech to text capabilities.
- djjzjshdhhd 3y agoExactly OP's point. STT/TTS is such an old technology at this point.
- jsemrau 3y agoGiven that I unsuccessfully applied for AIML Annotation roles at Apple for years, I also believe they are building similar tech with internal talent.
- quickthrower2 3y agoApple makes shiny new things once in a while. Maybe they are not so good at catch up so plan to keep excelling at non AI shiny things (there is a lot of money in the not AI niche!)

- exitb 3y agoTheir new autocorrect is based around LLM. Not sure if it's a major investment, but it is a real product.
- yieldcrv 3y agoerm misconception. Apple hasn’t released a dedicated chatbot but they use models heavily and in very targeted ways all the iPhones have had a transformer co-processor for several generations, the neutral engine is primed for use with this current crop with just a little more dedicated ram to it this is arguably better than the pick me chatbot thing but Apple is also primed to disrupt all of that, they include a fine tuned model chatbot style client side on all their OS’ and that substantially shifts the battlefield, a smart client side siri that only optionally connects to a large cloud model? even better an SDK for all the AI startups to leverage that instead of token price arbitraging with OpenAI api or other cloud providers like replicate? all hail the Apple supremacy
