thanks, i looked into apples cloud, they have this article https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

it all seems okay from a technical perspective but you are right that it’s not good to have to trust apple here. i would love to see a setting to prompt the user for apples cloud, in the same way that it currently prompts for chatgpt.

yeah, i remember watching the announcement live, they said that in some cases it would prompt the user, like this

“anything slightly complex” is an overstatement though, it would ask for some specific LLM tasks, and the vast majority of what apple has built is not LLM or even generative. to me the most useful features are prioritising notifications for a semi-dnd mode and searching for objects in photos 🤷‍♀️

wasn’t the main point of apples ai that it runs on device? asking explicitly every time it might need to send data anywhere else seems fine
