Apple Evaluates Large Language Models: ChatGPT vs. Gemini Bard
Sources close to the situation suggest that Apple is in the final stages of negotiations with OpenAI, the developers behind ChatGPT. This potential integration could greatly enhance Apple’s AI capabilities within iOS 18. Despite this progress, an official announcement is currently on hold.
Prior reports also hinted at discussions between Apple and Google regarding the adoption of Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini. This indicates that Apple is exploring various options and considering different Large Language Model (LLM) solutions.
Apple's Strategic Approach
A key focus of Apple's strategy appears to be the emphasis on on-device processing for its AI features. By utilizing Apple's robust A-series and M-series chips, this approach could offer advantages in terms of speed and user privacy compared to cloud-based alternatives. However, this strategy may pose a challenge if Apple pursues a deal with OpenAI, as the LLM technology may require some level of cloud processing.
The final decision regarding LLMs at Apple is still pending. It remains to be seen whether Apple will opt for a single partnership or adopt a hybrid approach to incorporate these powerful language models into iOS 18.
