    While I loathe AI bullshit, Apple is at least prioritizing local, on-device AI and end-to-end encryption with their cloud AI services.

    I’ll still be passing on any of this bullshit, but I appreciate that they tried to make a less problematic version.

      There’s no on device AI in Apple land - what are you talking about?

      Also literally everything is end to end encrypted in this niche, that’s what s in https stands for.

        There is on device AI in the Apple ecosystem. Many of the AI features that they announced will run locally (assuming hardware requirements are met). Things like Spatial Reframing will touch the cloud (via private compute) though. Other than that, Apple has an entire entry point for running AI close to the metal via MLX. It is kind of their entire angle at this point given their inability to create a competitive compelling AI product of their own. They appear to be taking on the role of “platform” once again.

          Yes but these are nothing features compared to LLM. Samsung does on device picture moving nonsense too but in the grand scale it’s single digit % usage of AI if not below that. LLM is everything so the on-device tasks here are almost entirely meaningless.
