The latest in responsive AI from Apple's WWDC 2024 includes several advancements under the umbrella of "Apple Intelligence." Here are some key highlights:
-
Apple Intelligence:
- Apple Intelligence is a personal intelligence system that integrates powerful generative models into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It enhances the ability to understand and generate language and images, helping users take actions with rich awareness of their personal context. This system is built with privacy from the ground up (Platforms State of the Union).
-
On-Device AI:
- Apple has focused on running as much AI as possible on-device to deliver low latency and a better user experience while keeping personal data private. This includes a highly capable large language model that is powerful yet small enough to run on a device (Platforms State of the Union).
-
Machine Learning Frameworks:
- Apple’s built-in machine learning frameworks offer capabilities across natural language processing, sound analysis, speech understanding, and vision intelligence. The Vision framework, for example, is getting a new Swift API this year, and Create ML can be used to bring in additional data for training (Platforms State of the Union).
-
Generative AI Models:
- Apple has optimized models for inference performance and efficiency, using technologies like speculative decoding, context pruning, and group query attention. These models can run on the neural engine and include diffusion models for generating images (Platforms State of the Union).
-
Siri Enhancements:
- Siri has been improved with new large language models, making it more natural, contextually relevant, and personal. Siri can now understand and act on what you’re looking at on-screen and handle more natural speech, even if you stumble over your words (Bring your app to Siri).
-
ML-Powered APIs:
- Apple provides a number of APIs and frameworks to integrate intelligent features into apps without dealing directly with models. For example, the Vision framework now includes hand pose detection and body pose requests (Explore machine learning on Apple platforms).
