Apple is projected to set aside $4.75 billion for artificial intelligence research next year. On the other hand, the tech behemoth wishes to create a smarter version of Siri by using artificial intelligence.
Apple is expected to invest $4.75 billion in servers by 2024, with plans to purchase between 2,000 and 3,000 servers in the current year and potentially up to 20,000 in the following year.
Apple is believed to have acquired servers equipped with Nvidia’s HGX H100 8-GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for efficient AI training and intends to upgrade to the B100 model next year. Each Nvidia HGX H100 server costs around $250,000.
The company’s investment in AI servers is aimed at bolstering its AI capabilities, particularly for training large language models. Apple is inclined to use its own servers rather than relying on external cloud service providers to enhance security and privacy.
Apple has been investing significantly in artificial intelligence, with reports suggesting annual expenditures of around $1 billion. The company is working on an enhanced version of Siri and plans to integrate AI across various Apple applications.
