Samsungconfirm Bixby It will soon get an AI upgrade. After the release of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung Mobile CEO TM Roh said in an interview with CNBC,The company will release an upgraded version of Bixby later this year, powered by Samsung’s own Big Language Model (LLM)Roh said: "We will enhance Bixby's capabilities by applying generative AI technology." A few months ago, Samsung launched its own LLM called "Samsung Gauss".
There have been previous reports that Samsung is developing an upgraded version of Bixby, but this is the first time that Samsung has confirmed the news and revealed an approximate release date.Roh said the company will continue to offer multiple voice assistants on Samsung devices, which may refer to Google's Gemini.
Samsung launched Bixby in 2017, which can perform a variety of tasks in Samsung's native apps and even some third-party apps. If Bixby can adopt LLM and generative AI, it will become more useful than it is now, but it also depends on how many third-party services it can work with.
Samsung may show off the new version of Bixby later this year and plans to launch it with the Galaxy S25 series early next year. It is reported that the Galaxy S25 series will bring a series of hardware upgrades, design adjustments, and a Samsung-developed Exynos chip that is more powerful, stable and energy-efficient than ever before.
