It is reported that Apple is testing ``Siri with a large-scale language model'' using ChatGPT, its existence revealed from the code of the beta version of iOS 17.4

It has been revealed that the beta version of iOS 17.4 released by Apple on January 26, 2024 contains code for an AI model called ``SiriSummarization'' that calls the API of OpenAI's chatbot ``ChatGPT''. . Apple is expected to install in-house developed AI in iOS 18, the next generation OS for the iPhone, suggesting that Apple may be developing AI with the help of ChatGPT.

According to overseas media 9to5Mac, which discovered the code related to SiriSummarization, SiriSummarization calls OpenAI's ChatGPT API to test the AI function, summarizing sentences and answering questions.

In addition, it has been confirmed that the code actually contains statements such as ``Please summarize the given text'' and ``Please answer this question.''

In addition, SiriSummarization's system prompts include instructions on what to do when commands are entered via iMessage or SMS. In addition, the foreign media Bloomberg

reported in October 2023 that ``Apple is developing an AI that has the ability to answer questions and automatically complete sentences,'' and this latest SiriSummarization function is based on this report. It matches.

9to5Mac speculates that ``Apple's AI scheduled to be installed in iOS 18 will not operate using ChatGPT, but will compare the SiriSummarization and ChatGPT answers to the prompt and use it for development.''

9to5Mac also points out that Apple is testing four AI models from the iOS 17.4 code. Two of them are chatbots ``AjaxGPT'' that use Apple's proprietary large-scale language model ` `Ajax '', and there are two versions: an offline version that runs locally on the iPhone and an online version. The other two are ChatGPT and FLAN-T5 , Google's large-scale language model.

These codes from Apple reveal that Apple is ramping up its efforts to integrate large-scale language models into iOS. It is also shown that Apple is simultaneously developing its own AI system using Ajax and comparing the test results of that system with ChatGPT and FLAN-T5.

In addition, iOS 18, where Apple is reported to be planning to integrate its own AI technology into services such as SIri, is expected to be announced at the developer conference 'WWDC' to be held in June 2024, if it is as usual. It has been.
