Apple GPT details emerge on its AI chatbot

Apple is testing an AI chatbot internally referred to as "Apple GPT" to challenge Open AI and Google in the AI field.

The chatbot is part of Apple's efforts to make a significant AI-related announcement in the near future.

Apple has developed its own framework called "Ajax" to create large language models similar to ChatGPT and Bard.

The Ajax framework runs on Google Cloud and was built using Google JAX.

Initially, the internal rollout of the chatbot was halted due to security concerns about generative AI but has since been made available to more Apple employees.

The chatbot is being used by Apple employees for product prototyping, offering text summarization and question-answering capabilities.

Apple's chatbot doesn't introduce any additional features that distinguish it from commercially available AI chatbots.

Apple has been actively seeking generative AI talent through job postings to catch up with other companies' AI advancements.

The company is focused on addressing potential privacy concerns related to artificial intelligence in its AI developments.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has emphasized incorporating AI into offerings thoughtfully while ensuring user privacy.
