iOS 17.4 beta shows signs of improved AI Siri ahead of WWDC 2024

Apple is testing its own Siri chatbot with ChatGPT

Rumour assessment   🤯 It's likely

Apple could announce an AI version of Siri as early as June, and there are signs inside the iOS 17.4 beta that exists.

Apple hasn't yet released the equivalent of ChatGPT AI tools, but that doesn't mean it won't come. The company allegedly invested $1 billion to add artificial intelligence to Siri.

9to5Mac has discovered code in the first beta version of iOS 17.4 that suggests Apple is still working on a new version of Siri. Interestingly, the code contains references to OpenAI.

ChatGPT OpenAI does not seem to support Siri's AI features. Instead, it exists as a yardstick against which Apple compares its own Large Language Model (LLM).

Apple appears to be testing four different AI models, including AjaxGPT, its own LLM program. The code shows that Apple is testing two versions of AjaxGPT: one that is rendered on the device and one that is not.

9to5Mac also reports that Apple is testing a model called the FLAN-T5.

In early January, there were rumors that Apple was planning to integrate its generative artificial intelligence technology into Siri and other services. This is expected at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference.
