Apple’s ReALM AI System: A Potential Game Changer for Siri

Introduction

Apple has developed an on-device AI system named ReALM that is reported to substantially outperform OpenAI’s GPT-4 in certain aspects. The primary focus of ReALM is to enhance the capabilities of Siri by improving reference resolution, which involves understanding context in conversations, processing onscreen content, and detecting background activities. This advancement could potentially make Siri more intuitive and responsive to user interactions by allowing it to remember conversations and understand context better.

Future Implementation

The research behind ReALM has not been explicitly confirmed for implementation in iOS 18 or any of Apple’s latest devices. However, the development of ReALM signifies Apple’s commitment to advancing AI technology and improving user experience on its devices.
