🍎 Apple Races to Join AI Party
While OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta have dominated the AI headlines of late, one tech giant has been conspicuously quiet through the surge— and you’re likely reading this newsletter from their phone or computer.
But behind the scenes, Apple is reportedly scrambling to catch up.
News broke Wednesday that the iPhone maker is building its own AI framework called Ajax to power large language models akin to ChatGPT and Google Bard, according to Bloomberg. The company has also created an internal AI chatbot, which its engineers dubbed ‘Apple GPT’, to test capabilities.
Apple GPT is coming 👀
• Apple has reportedly created an internal AI bot similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT to advance its generative artificial intelligence capabilities.
• The AI bot is codenamed 'Ajax'.
• This development is part of Apple's effort to keep up with advancements… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

After seemingly being caught off guard by the AI hype, Apple is now on a mission to determine how to bring advanced generative AI to its widely-used products and services.
Apple sees AI as critical for the future of its devices and wants to avoid missing the boat — but company is still trying to solve challenges like potential biases and find the right use cases to introduce the technology responsibly.
In short — we likely won't see Tim Cook unveil "Apple GPT" on stage anytime soon.
But with Apple flexing its AI muscles behind the scenes, the race to lead the AI pack just gained a massive new player.
Apple is determined not to cede too much ground to rivals as it readies its own AI-powered future — and as we’ve seen in the past, the last-mover advantage can work just as well as being early to the game.
At the very least — let’s hope Apple’s move into generative AI means actually functional Siri in the near future 🙏
Apple, for the love of God... please make Siri better. It's 2023, and the competition is miles ahead.
I can barely use it to set reminders, let alone have a conversation.
Yes I want my own AI Jarvis, but I'll settle for parity with Google Assistant.
K thx bye. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A fascinating look into a question that many have been asking — if ChatGPT’s performance is depreciating over time:
Lots of people are wondering whether #GPT4 and #ChatGPT's performance has been changing over time, so Lingjiao Chen, @james_y_zou and I measured it. We found big changes including some large decreases in some problem-solving tasks: arxiv.org/pdf/2307.09009…

One of my wife’s biggest pet peeves is me responding to virtually everything she says with an AI-related comment or tool. So this meme was very relatable:
