Agreed. Also think this is the most probable path for them to take.

How do you imagine these features getting exposed to end-users? (When LLMs are discussed people default to thinking in terms of chat interfaces but to your point that doesn't have to be a hard and fast rule.) Do you think there will some sort of primitives that'll get exposed as APIs to developers, like with CoreML[1] for example?

I hope that there are standard interfaces like intents that Apple and third parties can publish that expose their functionality. That would make it easier to use them in a more modular fashion, through automation, through Siri voice, or through Siri text prompts. Some of that intents interface exists already but they should greatly expand it with AI in mind.

Another route would be for Apple to provide an LLM accessible to app so that they could offer that to interpret use request within those apps. If you're in Calendar, make it easy to add an event with voice or text.
