Not a good sign for Apple, and huge for Google if this is true? 

The company’s job listings over last year have suggested that Apple is working on multiple internal and external tools powered by generative AI. However, talks of leveraging third-party AI tech means Apple hasn’t progressed as expected in its own #Artificial Intelligence  efforts.

Apple and Meta Platforms have discussed a possible integration of Meta’s AI Assistant into Apple’s AI offerings, the Wall Street Journal reported, the latest sign of how expansive Apple is likely to be with the array of AI chatbots it will offer users of iPhones and other Apple hardware.

The longtime rivals have held talks about potentially integrating Meta’s generative AI model into Apple Intelligence, the recently announced AI system for iPhones and other devices.

Not exactly.  Although the way the economics work, it does sound like Microsoft is subsidizing Apple’s consumer AI push!  😜

Apple Isn’t Paying OpenAI For ChatGPT Partnership.

Neither Apple nor OpenAI are paying each other to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone

Instead, OpenAI hopes greater exposure on iPhones will help it sell a paid version of ChatGPT, which costs around $20 a month for individuals. Apple would take its 30% cut of these subscriptions as is customary for in-app purchases.

I wonder how much Apple will pay for this.  More than Google pays them to be default search I’d guess?

Nothing?

Or would Google pay them?  A partnership with Apple would offer a major boost to Google's AI efforts, potentially bringing Gemini to over 2 billion active Apple devices….

When Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook and his top deputies this week unveiled a landmark arrangement with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone, iPad and Mac, they were mum on the financial terms.

Apple to ‘Pay’ OpenAI for ChatGPT Through Distribution, Not Cash

at the iJustine event, Federighi (Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering) took the unusual step of saying that other models — including Google Gemini — would likely be coming to the operating system.

- Whoever wins Apple first wins big time. I see 3 levels of integration with iOS:

1) Ditch Siri. OpenAI distills a smaller-tier, purely on-device GPT-4o for iOS, with optional paid upgrade to use the cloud.

2) Native features to stream the camera or screen into the model. Chip-level support for neural audio/video codec.

3) Integrate with iOS system-level action API and smart home APIs. No one uses Siri Shortcuts, but it's time to resurrect. This could become the AI agent product with a billion users from the get-go. The FSD for smartphones with a Tesla-scale data flywheel.

A group of likeminded people in Artificial Intelligence are talking about this.
