That’s what we knew already. What we learn now (from Bloomberg) is that Apple’s AI teams are working to give Siri even more capabilities. The idea is to ensure Apple’s not-so-smart smart assistant can better compete against chatbots like ChatGPT, thanks to the addition of large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI or Gemini already use.

Siri is 13 years old now, and it's fair to say that it hasn't quite delivered on its initial promises. It's largely okay for controlling your iPhone and smart home, but the assistant's comprehension, reliability and flexibility have fallen behind competitors.

Apple appears to be ramping up its Siri efforts to secure a spot as a key player in the AI arms race. The company is reportedly working on a more conversational version of its voice assistant Siri that'll be powered by advanced large language models,

Apple Inc. is racing to develop a more conversational version of its Siri digital assistant, aiming to catch up with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other voice services, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Apple is reportedly working on the next big digital assistant evolution with what it calls "LLM Siri." But the upgrade will take its own sweet time to arrive.
