Apple’s Push into AI at Apple’s WWDC 2024
Apple has apparently been spending lots of money daily to train its own models. There are rumors that Apple is talking to news outlets for partnerships to use their content for training. Some reports suggest Apple might make deals with Google, OpenAI, Anthropic (or Baidu in China) for cloud-based AI features, while keeping its own generative features only on its devices. According to a recent Bloomberg report, Apple might even allow all AI developers to deeply integrate their work into Apple devices.
According to the Verge the company has been discussing on-device machine learning for a long time. Now that generative AI is important, Apple seems prepared to promote its skills in this area as well. For example, check out the M3 MacBook Air, known as “the world’s best consumer laptop for AI.
