Apple Ferret: Apple AI 2024

What is Apple Ferret, How does it compare to ChatGPT, future plans, Apple products and services with AI, and more

Apple has made a major move into the AI space with its new Ferret model, silently released in October 2023.

As AI chatbots like ChatGPT grab headlines, Apple’s secretive Ferret project aims to help the tech giant catch up to rivals in conversational AI.

And it must do so. Apple is far behind. Officially.

Overview of Apple's Ferret AI

Ferret represents Apple's first major generative AI model. Publicly at least.

While details remain scarce, early reports indicate Ferret has impressive skills, especially regarding spatial relationships and object recognition in images. This could allow more natural voice interactions via Siri.

However, Ferret still lags behind leaders like OpenAI's ChatGPT in key areas like eloquence, knowledge breadth, and human-like conversational abilities.

But as a first attempt, Ferret shows promise that Apple can rapidly improve thanks to its vast resources.

Integrating it into Apple's walled garden ecosystem could be a competitive advantage.
