The question is extremely ambiguous

Does this mean:
1. Siri works with an LLM? (it already does on macOS Betas, an Apple Intelligence model + chatgpt)
2. API access for developers? meaning you can do 'llm "who is the CEO of apple"' or something like that via API and the answer comes from an Apple model (local + Apple Cloud + ChatGPT) with Apple doing all the routing and stuff?
3. Will Apple support LLM "integration" by providing access to the neural engine/gpu/cpu? (it already does).
4. Something else?

I really hope it's 2; in which case I would bet against.
If 1, then yeah, sure, Apple will have LLM integration (it already does!)

I don't get it

LLM integration is a software thing right? It can't be "integrated" inot a device

Unless :

A neural engine counts (in which case this is quite low) or

An analog processor with fixed weights is required (in which case this is really high)

Apple is working on several models of generative AI. In the coming year, the Siri team independently intends to integrate LLMs into its voice assistant. In line with Google's aim to enhance its voice assistant, this would enable users to automate complicated activities using natural language. Apple believes that GPT 3.5 from OpenAI is inferior to its advanced programming model, Ajax GPT.

@Priyadharshu Thank you for you insight but I believe there should be more data supporting your answer. It is true that Apple is investing in AI and in machine learning models. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3706472/wwdc-2024-is-apple-on-the-road-to-siri-20.html

Even if there is no data that supports the concrete actions of Apple towards the building of a MacBook with LLM integration, it is important to mention the impact that AI is having in economic terms. According to McKinsey, AI will add "the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually. This would increase the impact of all artificial intelligence by 15 to 40 percent". This means that the value that AI and large language models have in different industries such as retail can support the theory of Apple being working on AI technology. https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/the-economic-potential-of-generative-ai-the-next-productivity-frontier

Apple's slow to jump on things, but by 2025 they will probably replace Siri with an LLM which would count
