For “impressive” general reasoning and conversation these LLM currently require pretty beefy hardware. You’re either lugging a GPU around or calling to an API.

I do wonder why Cortana, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are lagging so behind these LLMs. I personally don’t use them with any frequency other than setting timers, but it’s annoying to use them and then realize they are not as nearly as usable or helpful as chat-GPT.

Aren’t these current personal assistants already relying on API calls for their responses?

Like siri? Yes, my point pertained to hardware needed for LLM specifically though

I know Apple’s developing their own LLM which will hopefully be used in Siri. There’s no guarantee, but I can’t think it would be too hard to add Bard into Google Assistant. Cortana on the other hand was canceled by Microsoft and is being replaced by Bing chat. I believe Amazon is also stopping the Alexa development

They’re working on it, but it takes time. Especially making it reliable.
The current crop of llm’s will happily answer or do nonsense or even dangerous things.

The big thing that’s holding Apple back regarding Siri is that they aim to have all their AI-driven functions processed on the user’s hardware, for security/privacy. So they not only need the software component, they want to have the hardware capable of running it inside the individual phones.
