From Apple website: "Apple Intelligence analyzes whether [the request] can be processed on device. If it needs greater computational capacity, it can draw on Private Cloud Compute, which will send only the data that is relevant to the task to be processed on Apple silicon servers. When requests are routed to Private Cloud Compute, data is not stored or made accessible to Apple, and is only used to fulfill the user’s requests."
Are there any more details on what exactly is being sent as context to the cloud?
Do they send features extracted from an image on device or the full picture?
Is it capable of only sending current pic or will on-device model select what it thinks is needed for context and many pictures and/or texts will be sent?
- sradman 2y agoThere is also a technical blog post [1] on the architecture of Private Cloud Compute. I don't think that there are any details on the context being sent, just that any context is ephemeral, can't be traced back to you, and that the machine instances leverage Apple Silicon's Secure Boot and Secure Enclave.
