Apfel is very useful, thanks for the effort.

I second this, I’m more excited about dumb local models than something I could never run locally.

I think the key thing is that Spotlight is now creating a... knowledge graph? of everything on your device for Siri's consideration. That's potentially very useful.

they specifically said "Splotlight Semantic Indexing" which means they generate embeddings of all your "personal context" and store it in a local vector database so they can do on-device RAG.

I suspect it is Kuzu in the backend. I had called it out earlier this year in my article. ".. WWDC 2026 or 2027 introduces any “contextual intelligence” features in Siri that require cross-app relationship reasoning."https://medium.com/data-science-collective/i-analyzed-163k-l...

I think it’s just storing embeddings now.


The "knowledge graph" has been there for a long long time....

Yes, yes, and yes.


Came here looking for someone mentioning this very issue. Did they not even view the model's output once? So strange.


We're hardwired to fear the rustle in the grass, and successful infrastructure gets backgrounded. Pain is a signal. How much time do you spend contemplating your skeleton outside of pain-related skeletal events?


Macs don't need Apple accounts at all. I just set up three Macs with no Apple accounts, not needed for intended use. They all work fine. Apple accounts are only needed if access to Apple services is desired.


That you have the mental capacity/structures/language to form the thought should indicate the trajectory you're caught up within. It's disappointing that everything not's resolved during the blip you're you but even a moderately long view provides evidence for optimism.


I do something similar with my Curation Engine outputs. Interesting to get photorealistic outputs on a GPU via language pathing instead of photons.
