Big partnership for OpenAI. Incredible Apple decided to integrate with a third party like this directly into the OS. This feels like something Apple could have executed well by themselves. I was hoping they weren't going to outsource but I suppose the rumors while they were shopping around were true.
I think this further confirms that they think these AI services are a commodity that they don't feel a need to compete with for the time being.

Who is to say they aren't eventually going to replace the OpenAI integration with an in-house solution later down the line? Apple Maps was released in 2012, before that they relied on Google Maps.
They seem to have kept the OpenAI integration to a minimum, only using it for requests that need large scale processing or for web trivia type of requests.
And apparently via Siri, not as part of their other integrations. So you ask something, Siri suggests ChatGPT, you agree to send the prompt. It's not built into the other ML related capabilities.
