Over the past several months, there’s been various chatter regarding AI-related features bound for iOS 18, and AppleInsider has since learned some specifics on the functionality of Apple’s Ajax large language model (LLM), as well as information on features the company has been testing alongside it.
Apple’s approach to generative AI will focus on practical benefits for the end-user while simultaneously attempting to preserve user privacy by using on-device LLM… Features like text summarization, document analysis, and AI-enhanced search options would all directly benefit end-users in meaningful ways.
Apple intends to introduce AI-related improvements to several of its built-in system apps beginning next month, including Siri, Spotlight Search, Messages, Mail, and Safari…
Perhaps the most valuable feature Apple has developed is the software’s capability to generate sentence-long responses and function unabated without cloud-based processing… While Ajax can generate rudimentary text-based responses on-device, more advanced replies or text summaries appear to necessitate server-side processing. This aligns with other reports claiming that Apple is in talks with OpenAI and Google about licensing their cloud-based AI technology.
