I've seen rumors that Apple might be working on local on-device LLMs for iPhones. I wonder if this is true. The market will resolve "yes" if Apple's new device features an on-device conversational LLM. It would suffice if the LLM is a combination of on-device and cloud-based processing.

@Soli the uncertainty, at least for me, was in your interpretation (e.g., if the interaction is not sufficiently "conversational").
@horace I don't think so, LLMs are a recent development in AI and Siri's responses are based on a neural network like Alexa and Google Assistant. If you look at all the leaks and rumours of the iPhone 16, they talk about Apple developing an LLM for an improved Siri and that suggests that they are not using an LLM for the current version of Siri. When Siri answers, it doesn't respond differently each time like a LLM, it chooses between different semi-predefined answers and uses one of them.
@AxelRthingCano i think you misunderstood @horace‘s question - @horace was not implying that Siri is already using LLMs
