After this morning’s WWDC24 keynote, explained the nitty gritty details on Apple Intelligence, code completion in Xcode, Swift 6 and the latest software updates. Susan Prescott, Apple vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, opened the event by thanking the hard work of all Apple developers. “Thank you for making this such an incredible and exciting ecosystem.
” While the morning keynote has become more of a general interest event for the public to see what’s coming later this year, the State of the Union is a show for developers to see how they can adapt their apps to take advantage of the new APIs and software tools. There was a lot to talk about this year. Apple Intelligence takes advantage of the power of Apple silicon on-device for low latency and a better experience.
It can run fast and privately. Apple’s Foundation model that powers Apple Intelligence is a balance between power, performance and specialization. Adapters can be plugged in on top of the Foundation model to give this singular model all kinds of different superpowers.
It also means that your device doesn’t need to simultaneously keep an LLM, image model and action model loaded in memory all the time. Private Cloud Compute lets software take advantage of additional compute power off-device. While it operates remotely in Apple servers, it has no persistent storage, so there isn’t any information to be stolen, sold or hacked into.
According to Sebastien Marineau-Mes, Apple’s vice preside.
