Apple's Innovative Virtual Assistant

Apple is reportedly developing an advanced version of its virtual assistant to enhance conversational capabilities, competing with services like ChatGPT. This upgrade aims to incorporate large language models for more dynamic interactions and quicker responses to complex queries. Testing is underway on multiple Apple devices, with plans to implement the new software in future operating systems set for release in 2025 and beyond. However, a complete overhaul of the assistant won't be completed until 2026, and details regarding features and rollout may still change.
