Apple has released the latest update to its artificial intelligence model, which primarily supports the Apple Intelligence feature for systems like iOS and macOS. According to Apple's official data, the newly launched model performs comparably with similar products from Google and Alibaba, but compared to OpenAI's GPT-4o released a year ago, Apple's server-side model performance is notably weaker. In the update, Apple emphasized the capabilities of its 'device-side model'.

Against the global backdrop of accelerated development in generative artificial intelligence, Apple is facing a trust crisis. Despite its high-profile announcement a year ago to bring a series of AI features to the iPhone, particularly the smart upgrade for Siri, most of these "Apple Intelligence" promises have yet to be fulfilled. While competitors like Google, OpenAI, and Samsung are successively releasing AI phones and assistant functions, Apple's silence seems increasingly passive. Apple plans to hold its annual worldwide developers conference this Monday at Silicon Valley.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's smart glasses project, codenamed N50, remains in early development and is far from ready. While Apple has a strong track record of creating small, innovative devices, its smart glasses development appears to be progressing slowly. Gurman writes that the N50 glasses aim to leverage "Apple Intelligence" capabilities, analyzing the surroundings and feeding information back to the wearer, but the glasses will not provide a full augmented reality (AR) experience.

Apple is expected to release the iOS 18.5 update to Chinese users in May, bringing the much-anticipated Apple Intelligence (AI) features to mainland China iPhones.

According to foreign media reports, Apple's newly launched Apple Intelligence feature is disabled on Meta's apps (including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads), preventing users from accessing core functionalities such as Writing Tools and the custom emoji generator (Genmoji). This move is believed to be related to Meta's strategy of promoting its own Meta AI tools, highlighting the intensifying competition between the two tech giants in the AI arena.

Recent developments in Apple's AI initiatives have garnered significant attention. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple plans to significantly expand the application of its "Apple Intelligence" AI technology in the upcoming iOS 19. This news has generated considerable anticipation within the industry regarding Apple's future AI strategy. Reportedly, Apple will open a summarization API to third-party developers. This means users will benefit from AI capabilities across numerous scenarios.

According to foreign media reports, Apple may be planning to integrate Google's Gemini AI model into its Apple Intelligence system. This news comes from firmware analyst Aaron Perris's research of the code in the first beta of iOS 18.4, where he discovered new references in the backend code that include "Google" as a third-party model option. This finding aligns with Apple's previous strategic layout. According to 9to5Mac, Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi,

According to Daring Fireball, iPhone 15 Pro users are about to receive good news: Apple's Visual Intelligence feature will be available on the Pro series flagship models released in 2023.

Recently, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) filed a complaint against the American tech giant Apple, citing that a new product launched by Apple inaccurately generated and spread fake news related to the BBC. The product, named 'Apple Intelligence', went live in the UK and used artificial intelligence technology to aggregate notifications from multiple information sources to push information to users. However, among these push notifications, there was a report about New York shooter Luigi Mangion.

Apple is quietly laying the groundwork for the 'heart' of artificial intelligence—server chips. According to The Information, citing three informed sources, Apple is collaborating with semiconductor giant Broadcom to secretly develop its first server chip specifically designed for handling AI applications. This move indicates that Apple's ambitions in the field of artificial intelligence are rapidly expanding. Renowned for its self-designed chips, Apple’s 'Apple Silicon' series is primarily manufactured by TSMC and is widely used in iP

Apple has recently launched the testing of its new artificial intelligence software suite, 'Apple Intelligence,' in the U.S., attracting attention from tech enthusiasts. This software rollout marks a significant advancement for Apple in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in writing assistance and voice assistant capabilities.
