"Apple Unveils ReaLM: Advancements in On-Device AI for Enhanced Siri Performance"

Apple has introduced a new small language model called ReALM, designed to enhance voice assistants like Siri by providing context and understanding ambiguous references. This model is expected to be a part of the upcoming iOS 18, potentially improving Siri's speed and intelligence. ReALM, which outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-4 on certain tasks, is a part of Apple's broader push into the AI space, reflecting the company's commitment to making AI a central focus. The model reconstructs the screen and labels on-screen entities to provide context clues for user requests, potentially giving Siri better conversational abilities.
