Apple Reportedly 'Passed Over' DeepSeek as Apple Intelligence Partner

Samsung already has built on device AI as what Apple supposed to deliver in 2025, 2026?
It uses Google Gemini instead of open AI the same way Apple wants to implement ChatGPT.
There's no need to partner with DeepSeek, as their open source models can run, locally, completely offline and in-house, on a few loaded/high-end Mac Mini's. DeepSeek's mid-size models easily run, again locally and offline, on any recent mid to high-end Apple Silicon MacBook Pro.
This capability of Apple Silicon Macs undercuts all those AI services that are paying for racks full of Nvidia chips.

As deepseek is open source and has found a way to use less resources maybe Apple could make it the underlying technology of Siri as an on device assistant. Saves Timmy lots of effort and investments 🤑
Apple will be partnering with Alibaba according to 9to5Mac:

So? Being first doesn’t mean anything if it is crap.
Samsung, who have crap processors in their phones, added Gemini on their phones back when Gemini was 100x less reliable than today and even today there is no 100% reliable language models. That is years away.
It’s better to tread carefully and implement properly. This week the BBC did a test and found that no language models are capable of reliably summarising the news. So be real with your expectations. AI is just buzzwords and beta technology at the moment.
Today’s news is that Apple is going to partner with Alibaba for the Apple Intelligence on the iPhone. Alibaba can handle the traffic.
I don’t agree with you. Apple’s latest iPhones are slower in real life usage as the S25. If you don’t believe me, look for speed comparison on the web.
Apple’s built in AI is also way worse than Samsungs implementations.
I’ve posted it before but I invite you to have a look. While I’m aware some don’t like AI but it’s not going anywhere and just will be better. AI is the race happening right now. Neglecting it as a company will be its downfall.
I agree with you that there are many useless solutions around. But also very much helpful and timesaving.
Sounds like someone does NOT know how to prompt God enough.
Tip stop asking simplistic inquires or tasks.
I can attest to this with iphone 12 mini on 18.3.1 which it debuted woth ios 14/5?
Vs
Galaxy S23 OneUI 5.1 to now OneUI 6.3 the Galaxy hasnt slowed down in just simoly comoaring navigational experience through core os or towards launching an app incl 3rd party apps.
Its drviint me insane but i havw to suffer for 30 days on ios exclusively starting friday.
It's not this user error.
I posit:
1. An LLM presents responses without any veracity or accountability.
2. A human is required to assert any veracity and be accountable because it cannot do the former and it is not corporeal so it can't be accountable.
3. Asserting veracity requires as much effort or more as doing the task in the first place. Consider working with another person's work who you cannot trust.
Therefore an LLM incurs the cost of the work plus the cost of the LLM which is greater than the cost of the work, thus it's useless.
Therefore also the LLM is only cost effective when no one is accountable and the veracity of the output is not important, which at least in my case is never.
Thus inferring from that, the entire market is propped up on the fact that they're lying about the veracity and hoping no one brings up accountability.
Ergo it's a **** show.

Apple's Latest Updates Re-Enable Apple Intelligence on Some Devices

so that they can, at some point in the near future, monetize it. It's all about Services.
But that's a good thing: Charging money for something which is valuable to customers.
Those customers who don't find it valuable will not use it and not pay.
I have found one good, clear, use for AI on my iPhone. I had previously learned that asking Siri "is SNL new tonight" was futile. So I learned to open up Safari and do it there instead, which is inconvenient.
On a lark, I tried asking Apple Intelligence the same thing a while back. Siri asked me if I wanted to let her use ChatGPT to answer the question. And I got this back, which was quite informative:
TV Guide has shown whether a program is new or repeat for decades.
I didn't know I could ask TV Guide a question verbally and get an answer. How does this work? Is there a trigger phrase to get TV Guide to respond?
Think how ripe everybody will be for completely being controlled by misinformation once these LLMs are fully deployed and everyone depends on them.
Have you ever used social media? They’re ready. Well and truly.
I’m just saying this information is nothing new and doesn’t require an LLM to solve. All you’ve proven is you can use ChatGPT to get the answer, which isn’t anything interesting or surprising.
Here's a guy who is running the Deepseek full 671b model on his desktop server:
Ok, so it's not a normal desktop, a custom build with expensive parts, but still.
