Apple’s AI team has recently undergone another round of departures. Alongside the exit of a high-ranking Siri executive, at least four AI researchers have departed in recent weeks, choosing to join industry giants like Meta and Google DeepMind. Specifically, Yinfei Yang has left to establish a new venture, while Haoxuan You and Bailin Wang have opted for Meta. Meanwhile, Zirui Wang is set to join Google DeepMind. It is particularly noteworthy that Google DeepMind is currently collaborating with Apple on the development of essential AI models. These models underpin new functionalities, including the technology that powers the latest iteration of the Siri voice assistant.
