    I still have to find anybody using Siri on his Mac

    Please tell me what the use case is. Somebody somewhere must find it useful otherwise it would not be so prominent.

    This a genuine question btw not trying to be sarcastic or dismissive

      Not sure. People are saying "Siri" but complaining about space utilization which I assume is for the foundational models. Those are used pervasively, and are exposed as a resource for third party app usage as well.

      Apple's goal was to have a set of foundational models to discourage proliferation of small bundled models in first and third party software. So ironically, they exist to try to save people disk space.
