Oh please the neural engine is mostly useless for LLMs. Siri in iOS 27 is laughably pathetic and slow compared to GPT Live DESPITE sending personal context to their (attested) cloud to execute anything but the most basic queries. Still years behind.

I think the relevant comparison is the developer beta, which has access to the Gemini-powered Siri that will roll out publicly later this year. From the reviews I've seen, Apple won't be "years behind" (which surely they were) for long.

		I did say iOS 27. I am using the new Siri. It’s better, but extremely unreliable (half of all requests fail) and slow. It should be like a Codex running on my phone with the ability to chain skills (intents) to execute a task, but it’s too crappy for that. And the voice is still a poor text to speech model, very far behind GPT live.

		I am on the developer beta for iOS/iPadOS/macOS and all I see is still just the OpenAI option. That said, Siri seems a little bit better now - my subjective opinion. It is a little bit less frustrating.

		But not in the EU, because of the DMA :/
