Apple opens its AI to developers
Apple announced recently a slew of artificial intelligence features including opening up Apple Intelligence's underlying technology in a modest update of its software and services as it lays the groundwork for future advances. The presentations at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference focused more on incremental developments, including live translations for phone calls, that improve everyday life rather than the sweeping ambitions for AI that Apple's rivals are marketing. A year after it failed to deliver promised AI-based upgrades to key products such as Siri, Apple kept its AI promises to consumers low-key, communicating that it could help with tasks like finding where to buy a jacket similar to one they have seen online. Behind the scenes, Apple hinted at a strategy of offering its own tools to developers alongside those from rivals, similar to a strategy by Microsoft last month. Apple software chief Craig Federighi said the company will offer both its own and OpenAI's code completion tools in its key Apple developer software and that the company is opening up the foundational AI model that it uses for some of its own features to third-party developers. 'We're opening up access for any app to tap directly into the on-device, large language model at the core of Apple,' Federighi said. In an early demonstration of this at work, the company added image generation from OpenAI's ChatGPT to its Image Playground app, saying that user data would not be shared with OpenAI without a user's permission. 'You could see Apple's priority is what they're doing on the back-end, instead of what they're doing at the front-end, which most people don't really care about yet,' said Ben Bajarin, chief executive of analyst firm Creative Strategies. Apple is facing an unprecedented set of technical and regulatory challenges as it kicked off its software developer conference. Shares of Apple, which were flat before the start of the event, closed 1.2% lower on Monday. 'In a moment in which the market questions Apple's ability to take any sort of lead in the AI space, the announced features felt incremental at best,' Thomas Monteiro, senior analyst at said. Compared with what other big AI companies are introducing, he added, 'It just seems that the clock is ticking faster every day for Apple.' That is a contrast to the ambitious vision laid out by Apple last year. 'They went from being visionary and talking about agents before a lot of other people did, to now realizing that, at the end of the day, what they need to do is deliver on what they presented a year ago,' said Bob O'Donnell, chief analyst at Technalysis Research. Apple executives said that developers will have access only to Apple's on-device version of Apple Intelligence, which does not tap into special data centres Apple built for its AI efforts. The on-device model is about 3 billion parameters, a measurement of the model's level of sophistication, meaning that it cannot handle the more complex tasks that cloud-based models can.

This underscores Big Tech's commitment to making hefty investments to support booming generative AI technology, as the world's biggest companies race each other to deliver the most sophisticated AI models and cloud services. The investment in Pennsylvania comes less than a week after Amazon said it will invest $10 billion in North Carolina and announced plans to invest more than $5 billion in its new cloud infrastructure in Taiwan. The investment will create 1,250 high-skilled jobs and support thousands more in the Amazon Web Services data centre supply chain, the company said. Salem Township and Falls Township are the first communities identified as sites for future campuses, according to the company. Amazon's capital expenditures totalled about $25 billion in the first quarter, and the company has said it expects to maintain that level of spending for the rest of the year. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for additional details on whether the $20 billion investment was part of the previously announced capital expenditure plans. The company also did not specify a timeframe for its investment. Source: Reuters Image Credit: Amazon
