Apple's third-generation Foundation Models: How the new AI architecture works
Apple distributes its five new Foundation Models between iPhones, its own servers, and Google's cloud. This is how the AI architecture works.
Tag: Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence is Apple's own AI system, unveiled at WWDC 2024 and rolling out gradually since then on compatible iPhones, iPads, Macs and Vision Pro. The system combines on-device models with Apple's Private Cloud Compute and a Gemini model specifically adapted for Apple, which serves as the foundation of a redesigned Siri. The feature set includes Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, generative image editing in the Photos app, Visual Intelligence via the camera, smarter notifications, a ChatGPT integration, and deep system-level integration in Mail, Messages, Safari and many other apps.
