Apple is on target to invest $1bn annually in researching and developing its generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) services, Bloomberg has reported.

While its competitors OpenAI and Google have released ChatGPT and Bard, respectively, Apple has yet to release a GenAI product.

Apple has already built a large language model LLM called Ajax and is rumoured to be working on a chatbot called Apple GPT, Bloomberg reported.

The company has plans to reportedly combine AI into Siri, Apple Music and Messages. Spotify currently generates playlists through its partnerships with OpenAI.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT mobile business enjoyed a record number of installs and total revenue in September, despite global GenAI deals struggling to recover after a major slump following a Q1 peak. 

The hit GenAI chatbot saw 15.6 million downloads last month and brought in $4.58m in gross revenue across its mobile applications globally.
