to me the pitch is compelling. i don't want to use any more fucking apps -- i want to talk to my computer, like i talk to chatgpt. there's real opportunity for a revolution here.

i don't think apple or google are well-positioned to build this revolution, because they are too conservative and too bought-in on the old interaction model.

(if jobs were still around, different story. alas.)

I think Apple would, all their devices always have the neutral engine chip, they just need to extend more RAM to it to support larger models

they already have a habit of replicating the most useful apps natively

i don’t see why not here

replace siri once and for all, while running a local llm server for apps to tie into instead of an api to chatgpt

i'd love to be surprised, but i just don't think apple has the necessary software chops/vision anymore to pull it off.

Also they've painted themselves into a corner with privacy. To enable LLM in iOS they will need to walk back their privacy stance to some degree.

In what way? It would be an LLM on the phone, running locally

What would the LLM be trained on?
