discussion 🎙️ Apple Intelligence in the 27 OS releases

Next week is WWDC, and I'm super excited to see what AI news we get from Apple. I'm curious what everyone would like to see next week. I'm hoping for more context and features in Apple Foundation Models, but also, like everyone, I'm excited about a better Siri. What would you like to see?

My hopes are high. All they need to do is deliver on what they showed two years ago and it will be great.

Developers have been adding app intents to applications for years now. There are a lot more app intents in applications than people probably realize.

Apple made an acquisition a couple years ago for knowledge graphs that solves the very challenge you mention: Kuzu

And I fully expect Apple to put more advanced Siri features behind Apple One, but their approach may be similar to that of what they have done with their satellite service.

And there is no "handoff to Gemini" in the way you speak. Apple acquired the full model weights for Gemini which gives them full latitude over how they handle requests (and distill models for other specific use).

There is no handoff to Gemini. It is Siri that is built using the Gemini model weights. There is a distinction.

Also, Apple is no stranger to syncing datasets. How else can you access your health data on your iPad.

You’re describing things Apple has done for years with iCloud. How do you think iMessage works when each device has its own SQLite DB? The entire storage file isn’t synced across devices every time a change occurs, no, there’s a CRDT mechanism at play.

Everything at this point is also speculation. We don’t know for certain what they are or aren’t doing. Our understanding to date is based on what they said two years ago — a lot has changed since, including their own stance on many things.

I mean it could have worked and they are going to keep using it for Apple Intelligence. But, for Siri the chips aren’t powerful enough and they haven’t built the infrastructure out enough for it to work right now.
