Apple Inches Closer to a Deal with OpenAI to Bring ChatGPT Technology to iPhone

[AleksandarK]

To bring cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities to its flagship product, Apple is said to be finalizing a deal with OpenAI to integrate the ChatGPT technology into the upcoming iOS 18 for iPhones. According to Bloomberg, multiple sources report that after months of negotiations, the two tech giants are putting the finishing touches on a partnership that would be an important moment for consumer AI. However, OpenAI may not be Apple's only AI ally. The company has also reportedly been in talks with Google over licensing the Gemini chatbot, though no known agreement has been reached yet. The rare team-up between the fiercely competitive firms underscores the intense focus on AI integration across the industry.

Apple's strategic moves are a clear indication of its recognition of the transformative potential of advanced AI capabilities for the iPhone experience. The integration of OpenAI's language model could empower Siri to understand and respond to complex voice queries with deep contextual awareness. This could revolutionize the way Apple's customers interact with devices, offering hope for a more intuitive and advanced iPhone experience. Potential Gemini integration opens up another realm of possibilities around Google's image and multimodal AI capabilities. Future iPhones may be able to analyze and describe visual scenes, annotate images, generate custom imagery from natural language prompts, and even synthesize audio using AI vocals - all within a conversational interface. As the AI arms race intensifies, Apple wants to position itself at the forefront through these partnerships.

Chat gpt is already an app you can download, so what's the point of this?

Hype and the stock price presumably?

Corporate fomo,
cutting out a slice in the future will be harder than offering a rebranded piece of pie from the start.

Full integration with Siri at first, then with the whole OS and all Apple default apps

I still don’t see a use for something like that on a phone. Maybe some stable diff for iPad Pro to touch up the art since I know several artists who switched to that from Wacom tablets for their drawing. But on a phone? I use iPhones for what, more than a decade now and have never found use even for Siri, so I am baffled by this, to be honest.

lmao did sam altman write this bullshit

Apple would be buying smoke with this deal

Apple really failed here by not developing their own AI, and now has to spend billions on using Googles or OpenAIs tech. How did they miss out on that, they already had Siri and should have seen it coming, why aren't they buying someone?

Microsoft is also most likely building a 100 billion dollar super AI with chatgpt in the future...

So, how do I buy ChatGPT stock? cause they are king, not Nvidia. Apple and Microsoft kneeling before them. lmao

Personally, I think Anthropic is the best AI around, surprised Apple didn't approach them.

if ChatGPT had a stock price/openly sold, they would be higher rated/priced than Nvidia imo.

You don’t. OpenAI is a private firm. And that’s probably really good for them. A lot of tech companies start and grow without being public because they can do what they please with there own finances without pressure from Investors. Steam is another company that refuses to go public and while there are pros and cons if they are already paying debts and making money I don’t see a reason why they should.

As Solaris17 said, you can't buy OpenAI stock as it's not a publicly traded issue.

The main way to invest in these pre-IPO companies is venture capital and sometimes angel investing at the earliest stages. You can probably read up on this at Investopedia.

AI is still very much in its infancy, not just in its technology but also its presence as publicly traded companies. If you really want to invest in AI today by buying a publicly traded symbol, your best choice for the moment is probably NVDA. They are providing the majority of the tools -- AI accelerator hardware components and Omniverse software ecosystem -- that AI companies are using right now.

But back to the original topic, Apple likely wants deeper OpenAI integration rather than just a standalone ChatGPT app.

If you read my last sentence, it was a rhetorical question.

as I go on to state, "if ChatGPT had a stock price/openly sold, they would be higher priced than Nvidia imo"

I did not feel the need to clarify this with Solaris, but if people are going to keep bringing it up, I thought I'd point that out. things don't translate well in text, so I should have been more clear.

Because it can run locally on iPhone 16 Pro and new iPad Pro with M4, not just in the cloud.

But run it on your phone, run it on the cloud, one thing is constant: It's borderline useless and most people will probably not use it.

Yes, siri is not that great, but I have a genuine question: Who is actually basing their phone purchasing decisions around the virtual assistant? And who would use it for more than setting a timer when you cannot touch your phone? Genuinely curious here, I struggle to see the utility of virtual assistants beyond being a selling point that won't ever make a difference in how you use your phone.

That might be, but I'm just giving reason Apple would do this deal in the first place. No way they have there own competitor to ChatGPT or Gemini yet. I couldn't care less about AI on phones.
