INSIGHT

Apple Runs Gemini On Its Own Devices

  • Apple chose to run Gemini-based AI on Apple devices to preserve user privacy and brand control.
  • The deal lets Apple fine-tune Gemini while avoiding Google's branding and infrastructure exposure.
ADVICE

Opt Into Apple Intelligence Deliberately

  • Expect staggered beta rollouts and opt-in settings for Apple intelligence features.
  • Check settings to enable or disable ChatGPT handoffs and Gemini features when the beta appears.
ADVICE

Choose Open-Source TTS With Caution

  • Use open-source TTS for offline control, latency reduction, and cost savings when guardrails are unnecessary.
  • But be aware motivated bad actors will use such tools for harmful voice cloning without oversight.
