I do wonder why Cortana, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are lagging so behind these LLMs. I personally don't use them with any frequency other than setting timers, but it's annoying to even consider using them and then realizing they are not as nearly as usable or helpful as ChatGPT.

The big thing that’s holding Apple back regarding Siri is that they aim to have all their AI-driven functions processed on the user’s hardware, for security/privacy. So they not only need the software component, they want to have the hardware capable of running it inside the individual phones.

eh... sounds like privacy theater to me. Only the audio transcription may be processed on the device.

In all cases, transcripts of your interactions will be sent to Apple to process your requests

They might aim to have a full blown LLM on the device, but it'll never be as good as the others with these limitations.

Many teams are currently working on striking the right balance of fine tuning and model size. Most aren't considering phones yet, but PCs off network.

It is entirely possible to have an LLM run "closed loop", but obviously Google and Apple want in that loop
