Apple and Meta Explore AI Partnership

Apple is exploring partnerships with various AI companies, including longtime rival Meta, to integrate advanced generative AI models into its newly announced AI system, Apple Intelligence.

Key Points

• Apple is in talks with Meta, Google, Anthropic, and Perplexity to integrate their generative AI models into Apple Intelligence.

• AI companies can integrate their models into Apple Intelligence, allowing users to access and choose from various AI options directly on their Apple devices.

• AI companies can sell premium subscriptions through Apple Intelligence, with Apple taking a cut of the subscription revenue, similar to its App Store model.

• Collaborations with multiple AI companies aim to diversify Apple's AI offerings and reduce dependency on a single provider, while leveraging Apple’s vast distribution network.

This strategic move not only diversifies Apple's AI offerings but also represents a significant shift in its relationship with Meta, potentially benefiting both companies in the competitive AI landscape.

Currently in testing at 400 stores, the app is expected to be available to most employees across nearly 2,000 locations by August. This initiative reflects the broader retail industry's push to integrate AI, with similar efforts underway at competitors like Walmart.
