'Apple GPT' and the Ajax Framework

Apple is creating AI tools to compete with OpenAI, Google, and others, claims a recent report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. A chatbot developed by the tech company is known internally among some engineers as "Apple GPT." Apple has yet to decide how to introduce the technology to consumers, although it is rumored to make a vast AI announcement in 2019.

According to the source, Apple has developed its framework, "Ajax," to build massive language models, AI-based systems that power products like Google's Bard and Open AI's ChatGPT. According to Bloomberg, Google JAX, the search engine giant's machine learning framework, is used to run Ajax on Google Cloud. Apple is using Ajax to build substantial language models that will be the basis for an internal ChatGPT-style tool.

Due to worries over generative AI security, the chatbot's internal distribution was temporarily suspended, but it has subsequently been made available to additional Apple employees. The chatbot is becoming more accessible to employees but requires special authorization. According to Bloomberg, any output from the chatbot cannot be utilized to create features aimed at users.

Apple employees are using the chatbot to assist with product prototyping. Based on the data it was trained with, the chatbot can be used to summarize text and provide answers to queries.

Apple has been more cautious when implementing AI technology than some of its competitors, such as Alphabet and Microsoft. In contrast to its rivals, it did not make any substantial AI-related announcements at its developer conference in June. However, Apple has covertly incorporated cutting-edge AI features in a few products, including photographs, in-app chatting, and the recently introduced mixed-reality headset Vision Pro.

Business Today reports that Apple is creating a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can summarize material and provide answers based on the data it has been educated on. Like other AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's Bard, and Bing AI, this one is now utilized internally for product prototyping. The web-based tool is a promising advancement in Apple's AI initiatives.

According to the article, Apple is concentrating on attempting to handle any privacy issues that may arise due to artificial intelligence. Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that while the tech company would incorporate AI into more of its products, it would do so on a "thoughtful basis."
