However, Apple was still fascinated by the possibilities, as it was then Steve Jobs. This was Steve's last agreement, the co -founder of Sir Siri, Tom Gruber told Wired. He individuals participated in all stages of the agreement, negotiation agreement and monitoring, ensuring that we succeeded at Apple after they bought us.
However, other Apple operators, who were present at that time, painted a picture of a digital assistant that was very flawed that never really depended on the work that Apple sold to us. Siri worked early, but only in highly limited functional silo.
What we have is a demo will work very well for a few people but will not expand to our user basis. Computer History Museum In a 2017 interview, it involved in changing costumes.
Who is this concept? It was not anyone, it was a hot mess, Mr. William Williamson said. “It's easy to cheat Siri. No NLP (natural language processing), no context.
But now, even to whom, Siri still cannot rely on actually working when faced with use in the real world. The main question is why? Chatbot Tech may not be completely mature, but at least it is enough to be used daily by technical companies on competitive platforms.
An interference factor: Apple's approach to this tool may not be close to the norm. You will need to comfortably hand over a large amount of data to make Alexa work best, while Openai's Sam Altman seems to be happy to destroy all types of jobs at the progressive altar. But Tim Cook and Apple? A cleaner, more positive image for decades is part of the company's appeal and that includes a very clear focus on privacy.
There is a good reason for waiting (Apple), and that is if you really hold the data management value and privacy as a sacred right. And (Apple) says those types, Gruber said.
If they really hold it as a top priority, they may encounter conflicts of interest. If they send all the queries to Openai and give them all the needs of Openai, they can do more, but then they will give up their privacy.
A privacy center is also considered for many years is the reason Siri never feels good when used as, for example, Google Assistant. It seems less intelligent, less natural, because it really knows less about you. And regardless of that, it is part of the problem in this new Siri.
A story about two half
The upcoming Siri is based on two core components. A small language model runs on the iPhone itself, while more complex queries are downloaded to Openai. You will have to license the phone to do so.
It is estimated that Apple's ON-OPPhone systems include about 3 billion parameters, of which some are estimated to set the number of parameters in the GPT-4 of Openai at 1.8 trillion times compared to the number of hundreds of times. Deepseek has made titles as a more effective AI model in early 2025, but it still includes a reported parameter of 671 billion.
