• @munster_gene Gene Munster on x

  $AAPL announces the new Siri AI and stock trades down 2.5% on the announcement. My take: The stock drop is entirely buy on the rumor, sell on the news. Everything they showed is what was expected and the features are something only Apple and Google can do with personalized AI.

  Siri now has special “Siri AI” branding which seems... a bit redundant?

• @durvidimel David ImeI on x

  As expected, Apple is making a huge deal about models being either on-device or on Private Cloud Compute, pushing into AI while trying to maintain trust

• @film_girl Christina Warren on x

  As I expected, Apple is going to punt the “on-device” story for Apple Intelligence and push towards the “private cloud compute” story for the models that you'll actually want to use. I'm glad on-device isn't going away, but it's clear a hybrid approach is absolutely necessary

  The other interesting thing to note from the keynote: watching the demos, there is ZERO doubt these are real, recorded demonstrations on live devices. There will be no confusion about what is real or fake like there was at WWDC 2024 and the initial attempt at the new Siri.

• @trungtphan Trung Phan on x

• @mkbhd Marques Brownlee on x

  The demos of Siri AI are very grounded in personal context. So you can talk to Siri and bring in real-world knowledge, but it also finally does the things you'd expect: Searches your messages, contacts, Maps history, etc. And it can take actions in these same places: Add photos

• @mweinbach Max Weinbach on x

  Siri AI is basically what most consumers use ChatGPT and Gemini for RIP consumer ambitions for AI companies

• @markgurman Mark Gurman on x

  The gag here with this Siri demo is that Rockwell is showing use case after use case that should have worked for the last decade — only for them to actually work this time. Huge win.

• @alexeheath Alex Heath on x

  This new Siri experience Apple is showing is exactly what the big AI players are going for: super personalized, all-knowing/present assistant Shots fired at Apple trying to control the interface layer, which even with ChatGPT as big as it is, feels very much up for grabs

• @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x

  This is not a perfect analogy, but i'm thinking through the framework how Apple's execution here is applied AI (same vein of applied robotics/taking robotics mainstream). In this case its which everyday frictions can the system remove without the user learning anything new,

  It's actually super important that the Siri demo was kind of slow, because it emphasized it was real. Would be even better if it were live, though.

• @emollick Ethan Mollick on x

  Last time around Apple released a lot of information about how their AI version of Siri worked between local and cloud models, not so much this time It is nice to have a Gemma-like model on device, but it is extremely limited unless it can call a smarter cloud model when needed.

  GGs you need 12GB RAM and an M3/A19 Pro or higher to run the most powerful Apple intelligence on-device model. This is mainly used for Siri's advanced voice, but I believe it could also help speed up image understanding instead of relying on Private Cloud Compute.

  What features mandate the “most powerful on-device model” vs. what can be shipped off to the cloud will be interesting to see.  In any case, it's all about RAM.  Efficiency let Apple cheap out and boost margins for years but there's no way around the need for more where LLMs are …
