This isn’t really the competition. This is more akin to opening up the OpenAI app than using Siri. Hey Google is, like Siri, still not LLM-based.

I'm responding to the following.

> Apple's silicon enables them to run incredibly strong models locally, fully offline. This is a huge win over competition that needs clients to connect to a network-connected GPU farm.

The competition has already racked up that win.

I stand by my counterpoint: Google can’t run “Hey Google” on-device because it only controls a small % of the devices it’s available on. In the world of built-in voice assistants, Siri is behind, but only as behind as it was in 2021.

This thread is about the world of on-device models, not the world of built-in voice assistants. The competition that this thread is about comes from this sentence in the original comment: "This is a huge win over competition that needs clients to connect to a network-connected GPU farm."
