At its #WWDC24 event in Cupertino, Apple announced Private Cloud Compute, its in-house cloud intelligence system designed specifically for private AI processing.
The idea is to extend Apple Intelligence from the user’s device to the cloud while preserving security and privacy. Apple says this will enable user to access even larger server-based models than could be achieved on-device, while ensuring that data stays within its Private Cloud Compute infrastructure.
Apple’s Craig Federighi said Private Cloud Compute will be powered by custom servers built with Apple silicon. He also noted that user data would not be used to train Apple’s AI models.
In addition, Apple confirmed that iOS18 will have SMS-via-satellite capabilities.
