 "Apple Intelligence (Source: Apple)")
Apple introduced its own Apple Intelligence at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024. Apple Intelligence is a personal intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with an enhanced focus on understanding personal context. This new system will be integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.
Reaffirming its commitment to privacy, Apple also introduced Private Cloud Compute, which has the “ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers.”
