Apple is creating its own AI-powered chatbot that some engineers are calling “Apple GPT,” according to a report from Bloomberg. The company reportedly doesn’t have any solid plans to release the technology to the public yet.
As noted by Bloomberg, the chatbot uses its own large language model (LLM) framework called “Ajax,” running on Google Cloud and built with Google JAX, a framework created to accelerate machine learning research. Sources close to the situation tell the outlet that Apple has multiple teams working on the project, which includes addressing potential privacy implications.
They indeed need to make it more conversational. I think this is a big thing Jobs would harp on if still alive. It should feel like always having a friend/assistant in the room who knows everything.
It sucks for privacy but if you trust apple enough it’d be nice to have an always-on microphone for Siri so you could be like “hey siri that tour we talked about at breakfast- can you bring up directions to that?” Stuff like that
