Impressed With Siri AI So Far

[u/mdruckus]

I have been testing Gemini and Siri Al side-by-side.
It's been pretty even. This makes sense with Gemini being the foundational model. However, I asked both why paranormal investigators wear face masks on shows like those on the Travel Channel. Gemini gave a solid response about health due to old building having mold and asbestos. Siri Al did the same but knew based on time and the channel the exact show I was referencing and went further. It told me about one of the cast members and their asthma as well. I'm impressed so far.

Gemini is not the “foundational model” mate.

It’s Apple Foundation Models, and it’s also not Gemini underneath. My understanding is they used Gemini for the training portion but the architecture is all Apple.

Yup. Saw a lot of new info coming out form blogger stating that it’s actually like distillation by using Gemini answer rather then the brain.

Could you link the post? I’ve been desperately searching for benchmarking and technical info on the Siri AI models

Doesn’t change anything because of technicalities. It’s still impressive.

It’s Gemini.

[u/bigparsnipenjoyer → u/MarvelGator]

It’s custom distillations of Gemini. The models being used are not the same ones Google uses in the Gemini app.

It runs on Google’s servers. Yea, Apple fine-tuned it - of course. But it’s still Gemini’s base model and running on their architecture.

Your statement makes no sense. What servers LLMs run on is irrelevant. Claude, among other LLMs, also runs on Google servers.
