Hey there, my tech-savvy followers! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you some exciting news from the world of Apple. According to a recent report from Bloomberg, Apple is cooking up some AI updates for its popular software, Spotlight and Xcode.

Now, let’s dive into the details. Apple has been busy expanding its internal testing of new generative AI features for Xcode, which is their programming software. And guess what? They plan to release these updates to third-party developers later this year. How cool is that?

But wait, there’s more! Apple has also been exploring the potential uses of generative AI in consumer-facing products. Imagine automatic playlist creation in Apple Music or AI chatbot-like search features for Spotlight search. With these upgrades, iOS and macOS users could make natural language requests and get weather reports or operate app features with ease.

While other tech giants have been stealing the spotlight when it comes to AI research and products, Apple has been making some moves too. They recently released an open-source machine learning framework called MLX, which makes it easier to train AI models on their own silicon chips. And let’s not forget about their text-to-image editing AI model called MGIE and an AI animator named Keyframer. Apple is definitely stepping up their game!

Now, let’s talk about a programming tool that Apple is working on. It’s similar to Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot and Amazon’s CodeWhisperer. This tool applies a large language model to predict and complete strings of code, and it might even be able to write code to test apps. Pretty impressive stuff!

Speaking of GitHub Copilot, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that they already have 1 million paying users for this tool. Microsoft has been continuously improving Copilot, adding features like a real-time chat function and code break detection. They have some exciting news to share at their Build 2024 event in May.

As for Apple, they might spill the beans about their AI plans during the annual WWDC event for developers later this year. Apple CEO Tim Cook has been a bit more conservative in his statements about generative AI compared to his counterparts at Google and Microsoft. However, he did confirm in an investor call that more generative AI features are on the way.

According to Bloomberg’s sources, Apple executives even demonstrated some of these AI features for Xcode to the company’s board last year. So, it’s safe to say that Apple is serious about bringing some exciting AI updates to the table.

That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more updates on Apple’s AI journey. Until next time!
