Apple has reportedly joined the AI race and is working on generative AI tools that could rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In July 2023, Bloomberg revealed that Apple started testing its own AI chatbot internally referred to as “Apple GPT” and building its own framework called “Ajax” to create large language models (LLMs). Apple CEO Tim Cook’s desire for polished products that avoided controversy was not enough to stop news of the company joining the AI rush from seeping out. Apple has several teams working on its latest AI tools, led by Apple’s head of machine learning and AI John Giannandrea and its top software engineering executive Craig Federighi. The company is working on two projects, “Ajax” and “Apple GPT”, with the former being a platform for creating large language models and the latter being an AI chatbot.
