The iPhone maker, Apple, was not making partnership discussions, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, days after the Wall Street Journal revealed that Apple and Meta were in talks to incorporate the latter’s AI models.
According to a Bloomberg story, Apple declined an AI deal with Facebook parent firm Meta because of privacy worries.
In March, Apple and Meta briefly discussed a potential relationship, but the discussions ended without any resolution, and Apple has no intention of incorporating Meta’s large language model (LLM) into iOS.
Apple was in talks with several businesses at the time to investigate integrating their models with their products.
Newsng gathered that in the end, Apple did reach an agreement with OpenAI, and ChatGPT will be included in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.
Users can choose to use ChatGPT, where Siri can route some inquiries to the more advanced artificial intelligence model.
Additionally, Apple is in talks with AI startup, Anthropic and is negotiating an agreement with Google to include Gemini into its operating systems.
The source also pointed out that Apple’s reputation will not benefit much from a partnership with the social networking giant, because the Cupertino-based business has consistently chastised Meta’s privacy policies.
Chief software engineer Craig Federighi of Apple stated at WWDC that the company plans to get into agreements with several AI model suppliers to provide people with a choice.
Meta will rely on its apps, which have billions of users combined and include Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Messenger, even if it may not have the luxury of being directly integrated with millions of devices.
We earlier reported that Tech billionaire, Elon Musk, has made a threat to ban Apple products from being used at his firms if the tech giant included OpenAI into the operating system.
