In a recent announcement, Samsung has introduced the groundbreaking Galaxy AI, set to be integrated into upcoming smartphones within the Galaxy range. Notably, this AI system boasts real-time translation capabilities for calls, showcasing Samsung's commitment to advancing user experiences.

Not to be outdone, Apple is gearing up for a major reveal at WWDC 2024. A new report suggests that Apple will unveil a revamped Siri, incorporating Large Language Models (LLM) in iOS 18. This upgrade promises exclusive features for iPhone 16 users, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to enhance functionality.

Renowned Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman has delved into Apple's plans, revealing ongoing debates within the Cupertino giant. The discussion centers on whether to confine generative AI processing to on-device operations, utilize cloud-based distribution, or adopt a hybrid approach combining both systems. The specifics regarding hardware requirements for these AI features remain unclear – whether they demand a specific architecture exclusive to iPhone 16 or extend compatibility to other iOS 18 supported iPhones.

Addressing the uncertainty, a recent leak from Tech_Reve suggests that iOS 18 will democratize the new LLM across millions of existing devices through cloud-based artificial intelligence. However, a twist awaits as local AI features will be exclusive to the forthcoming range of smartphones, potentially indicating a strategic move to entice users to upgrade.

In a race to stay ahead, rumors circulating yesterday hint at Samsung's proactive stance. Speculations suggest that Samsung is gearing up to implement AI on the Galaxy S24, aiming to outpace Apple in the AI evolution race. The tech arena eagerly awaits the unfolding of these developments as two tech giants vie for supremacy in the realm of artificial intelligence on mobile devices.
