Not just Google and OpenAI, Apple in talks with Meta for AI features on iPhones
From TV Today Network: 2024-06-23 21:54:50
Apple is discussing integrating Meta’s generative AI model into Apple Intelligence, potentially making Meta the second AI partner after OpenAI. Talks with Google’s Gemini, Anthropic, and Perplexity are also ongoing. This unexpected alliance could open the door to various AI models for Apple customers.
Meta stands to benefit from Apple’s distribution network, similar to App Store apps. Despite being a latecomer to generative AI, Apple is now seeking external partners for more complex tasks. This collaboration with Meta could signal a shift in their historically rocky relationship.
Apple is not asking for payments from AI companies, instead considering a premium subscription model within Apple Intelligence. OpenAI plans to offer a free version of ChatGPT through this platform, expanding usage but increasing infrastructure costs. This could be a significant step for Meta’s AI division, especially after the success of their AI model Llama.
During WWDC 2024, Apple highlighted the importance of offering multiple AI options to meet users’ diverse needs, such as creative writing or medical research. This move towards collaboration with different AI companies could revolutionize the landscape of AI applications and features for Apple customers.
