Apple According to behind-the-scenes information, it is considering another interesting investment in artificial intelligence. This time, it is said to be interested in a startup that is developing technology that allows very powerful AI models to be run directly on the iPhone without the need for a cloudemail servers. If a similar solution were to actually make it into future iPhones, it could significantly change the way they are used. Apple Intelligence i Siri work.

The company he is talking about Apple express interest is called Fastino. Its technology takes a different approach than most of today's AI services. Instead of giant models running in data centers, it uses smaller, highly optimized models designed for specific tasks. Thanks to this, they can run directly on the phone, consume less energy, and at the same time offer very fast responses without having to send data to remote servers.

Local processing is the area that Apple has been betting for a long time. Already today, a number of functions Apple Intelligence runs directly on the device and only more complex tasks use the infrastructure Private Cloud ComputeBut if AppIf Fastina technology is acquired, the proportion of locally processed tasks could be significantly increased. The result would not only be higher speed, but also better privacy protection and the ability to use advanced AI functions even without an internet connection.
According to the available information, it is not yet clear whether Apple startup actually buys, invests in, or only discusses possible cooperation. But the interest itself is a good indication of the direction the company wants to take in the field of artificial intelligence. While most competitors rely primarily on powerful servers, Apple tries to move as much computation as possible directly to users' devices.

If similar technology actually makes it into future iPhones, the next generations could be Apple Intelligence significantly more capable than today. Siri would handle more complex tasks, answers would come faster, and sensitive data would remain on the phone to a greater extent. And it is precisely the combination of performance, speed, and an emphasis on privacy that is something that Apple tries to differentiate itself from the competition from the very beginning of the performance Apple Intelligence.
But it also takes up a significant portion of the 256 GB version, in newer models, so I can't imagine it because it takes up an extreme amount of space already, it's terrible.
I understand the argument that it's more private, but it also has its drawbacks, and this is the main one.
And still no one can 100% to know that it is 100% private.
I think this is the real way. now I'm testing on a win PC offline AI and it currently has 25 GB. but I have about 5 GB of the test version, that is, 20 GB is not so much these days. And I even generate photos.
This would make a lot of sense to me, for example, for iPads. Pro with M-chips. They are expensive, but higher storage configurations with M-chips and local AI could do wonders. :) Well, we'll see how it all develops.
