Apple joins the AI race with ChatGPT-inspired 'Apple GPT' chatbot, testing underway

Apple has reportedly joined the race in the world of generative artificial intelligence by developing its own language model known as "Apple GPT." According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple has created its AI framework codenamed "Ajax" to build large language models. The primary purpose of Ajax is to enable Apple to create large language models and serve as the foundation for an internal ChatGPT-style tool. Reportedly, the company's focus on generative AI has been evident in its recent hiring efforts, as the company seeks engineers with expertise in large language models and generative AI. In a related development, recently Meta has also entered the AI race by launching Llama 2, an open-source large language model, in collaboration with Microsoft.
