Comment on Apple is reportedly exploring a partnership with Google for Gemini-powered feature on iPhones

I hadn’t really even considered that apple wouldn’t be working on their own LLM. Seems like everyone is making their own LLM these days.
Apple is working on models, but they seem to be focusing on ones that use tens of gigabytes of RAM, compared to tens of terabytes.
I wouldn’t be surprised Apple ships an “iPhone Pro” with 32GB of RAM dedicated to AI models. You can do a lot of really useful stuff with a model like that… but it can’t compete with GPT4 or Gemini.
Tbf, Google has versions of Gemini that will run locally on phones too, and their open source Gemini models run on 16GB of ram or so.

Remember the early days of Apple Maps?

If that’s an indication, Apple’s AI offerings will someday be as good or better than Google’s. Cause Apple Maps is pretty great these days, but was absolute garbage when they rolled it out.
