Olivia Moore：Apple Intelligence在媒体搜索和内容创建方面取得了显著进步，但Siri语音助手仍需改进。一些功能此前已存在于独立应用中，并非革命性突破。通话录音和转录功能满足了特定用户群体的需求，但其质量有待提高。苹果公司开始认真对待内部开发AI原生功能，这可能会对一些初创公司造成一定影响，但对更具雄心的公司影响有限。 Justine Moore：OpenAI的新模型在多步骤推理方面取得了重大进展，这将促进教育类应用的开发，并改变人们的学习方式。多项选择题并不能有效评估学生的真实理解，AI技术将改变数学教学方式。不同公司在AI模型开发方面存在差异，一些专注于通用智能，另一些专注于情商。目前尚缺乏对情商的衡量标准，但用户自行创建了非正式衡量标准。AI模型本身并非产品，而是嵌入在产品中。 Olivia Moore：Spotify Daily是AI模型成功应用于产品的案例，其成功在于其非侵入式且令人愉悦的用户体验，而不是其模型的准确性。产品的用户体验、易用性以及社交功能等因素，对于产品的成功至关重要。不同领域中，最佳模型与可用模型之间的差距有所不同。对于使用开源模型的公司来说，微调模型的重要性取决于具体的产品和用例。在企业领域，微调模型的需求可能更高。Adobe Firefly在将AI集成到现有产品方面做得很好，其视频模型专注于专业视频创作者。Adobe可能会在其产品中集成其他模型，这将为初创公司提供新的分销机会。Adobe允许外部公司在其产品上构建插件，这为初创公司创造了机会。Adobe展示的模型更侧重于对现有内容的改进，而非从零开始创作。
