Or really anywhere, since it comes out in Fall. Unless you count developer betas as available of course.

It’s also only in English initially.

They can only do so much at once. And Apple is not a “hire an extra 30,000 people“ kind of company.

Apple usually rolls stuff out in stages. This is just an extremely high profile example.

Has anyone seen a recent LLM release that supports just one language?

Apple Intelligence supports a number of languages. They showed them on a slide in the keynote.

The new Siri is limited at the moment.

old Siri was always limited in that regard.

And Apple Intelligence supports just a fraction of languages: English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Japanese, and Korean.

Danish, Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish have quite small populations compared Poland, while I don't see Polish there (37M). I also don't see Romanian, it is slightly bigger amount of people than Netherlands, and the rest from that list are ~< 10M.

Oh, well, at least I don't see Russian in that list.

With ChatGPT, or Claude.ai (or Deepseek, or local models) I can speak with languages that are outside of (traditionally) limited set of Apple. Because it all depends on what is on the web and web has magnitude larger set of languages compared to what Apple provides.
