- To me, we were behind in terms of frontier LLM models, but we had all the capabilities internally, and we had to execute to meet the moment.
- The temptation is to just add a little AI to the existing experience. That’s a start. But, the trick for leaders, ourselves included, is how to get organized and convicted about going back to the starting line and reimagining your experiences from a clean sheet of paper, assuming you were building with the new technology available.
- Open frontier models are how AI becomes a true platform...

- It won’t be a wrapper on a model, but the model will be wrapped into the application.
- In addition to topping leaderboards, our first party models, like Gemini, now process 7 billion tokens per minute, via direct API use by our customers. The Gemini App now has over 650 million monthly active users.
- More than any transformation before it, this generation of AI is radically changing every layer of the tech stack, and we are changing with it.
- The race to lead the building of the future with wisdom and responsibility has no finish line.

- Many years ago, I think it might’ve been 2017 or 2018, I said at the time, AI is the most profound technology humanity will ever work on. It’ll be more profound than fire or electricity.
- But with AI, we fast-forwarded: from paradigm to tools in under a decade, now used by hundreds of millions.
- What all this progress means is that we’re in a new phase of the AI platform shift. Where decades of research are now becoming reality for people, businesses and communities all over the world.
- AI is now infrastructure, and this infrastructure, just like the internet, just like electricity, needs factories...
- I would guess the world is going to get a lot funnier, weirder, and quirkier, the way that memes on the internet have gotten over the last 10 years.
- Generative AI is going to reinvent virtually every customer experience we know, and enable altogether new ones about which we’ve only fantasized.

- We’re still in the early days, yet I already believe AI will be the most profound shift of our lifetimes. Bigger than the shift to personal computing, or to mobile.
- Through the power of Apple silicon, we’re unlocking new possibilities for our users with Apple Intelligence, which makes apps and experiences even better and more personal.
- In many ways, artificial intelligence is the electricity of our age, and the next four years can build a foundation for America’s economic success for the next quarter century.
- And this week, we released our first set of features for Apple Intelligence, which sets a new standard for privacy in AI and supercharges our lineup heading into the holiday season.
- This industry, the computing industry, is going to become the intelligence industry...
- We were terrified, and we put a pile of money into it and nothing came off it. And it didn’t matter. Why? Because the cost of a disruption is way higher than the amount of investment that you have to make.

- During the quarter, we were excited to announce incredible updates to our software platforms at our Worldwide Developers Conference, including Apple Intelligence, a breakthrough personal intelligence system that puts powerful, private generative AI models at the core of iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- We had a strong quarter, and Meta AI is on track to be the most used AI assistant in the world by the end of the year...
- We’ve transitioned from instruction-driven computer coding, which very few people can do, to intention-driven computing, which is connecting with somebody through intention...
- Last but certainly not least, Generative AI may be the largest technology transformation since the cloud (which itself, is still in the early stages), and perhaps since the Internet. Unlike the mass modernization of on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, where there’s work required to migrate, this GenAI revolution will be built from the start on top of the cloud.

- Now, I’m unashamedly optimistic about the power of technology to make life better for everyone.
- We believe Artificial Intelligence is our alchemy, our Philosopher’s Stone – we are literally making sand think. We believe Artificial Intelligence is best thought of as a universal problem solver.
- Almost every piece of software in the world would eventually be programmed this way. If that’s the case, then how you build a computer and how you build a chip (in fact) can be completely changed.
