Why is Siri being discussed in the context of LLMs and Apple Intelligence? Have they already released Siri 2.0 or am I missing something?

The OP is making a point that Apple is behind. They might be publishing research, but it’s completely useless to the end user buying their products.

    A plethora of LLMs are available on Apple platforms. If someone wants a chatbot, they can get a chatbot on Apple products. It’s not hard.

    Are all Android users using Gemini exclusively? Are all Windows users only using Copilot? Where is the native Linux desktop LLM?

    I really don’t understand this criticism. Would it be nice if Siri could do more, sure. Do I have tolerance for Siri to start hallucinating on simple problems it used to use real math for, no. Do I have other options to use in the meantime to get the best of both worlds, absolutely. Where is the hardship?

      Siri is the default and only voice assistant that has access to all the data on your phone. It doesn't matter if I have ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another SOTA model on my iPhone—I can't easily activate them in the car or another handsfree situation or use them with any other app or data on my iPhone.
