Apple is rebuilding Siri department-Vision-Pro developer takes over

After changes at the head of Apple’s Siri group, the new engineering boss Mike Rockwell, in which the threads are now running together, has brought employees of his former group into the team. The reports the financial news agency Bloomberg. Accordingly, “a large part of the management” was replaced by people who had previously worked in the Vision Products Group, within which Rockwell had put the headset Vision Pro on the track.

Teams rebuilt

According to the Bloomberg sources, Rockwell is also said to have converted teams from the Siri areas of voice output, language understanding, performance and user experience and occupied with it. Apple had previously had to announce that important siri functions are postponed as part of Apple Intelligence. That could take up to a year. There is currently talk of Apple should deliver the features in autumn.

The addition of Siri with functions from the generative AI is currently one of the most important construction sites at Apple. The voice assistant has existed since 2011, but Apple played its pioneering through slow further developments. You still have to know exactly what you should ask Siri to be able to handle the system to reasonably-chatbot features deliver openai and (soon) alibaba.

What happens to the vision?

Rockwell ultimately takes over the post of Siri Engineering boss from Apple’s Ki-Boss John Giannandrea and his subordinate Robby Walker, who previously headed Siri. Rockwell has already announced that Siri’s performance “to a new level”. Ranjit Desai, former Vision Pro developer, came to the Siri team. He is an expert in “high -performance systems with a low latency”.

The question now is how the Vision Products Group continues to Rockwell’s gang to the Siri team. Geoff Stahl, which previously served under Rockwell, is to take over the software area. Other visionos managers are said to have remained in the team if they have not asked Rockwell to the Siri Group. In the meantime, a second model is expected at the Vision Pro at the end of this year or early next year. At the same time, Apple continues to work on a “real” AR glasses.
