Apple intelligence not available on Mac Studio after update to Mac OS 15.1

I meet all the criteria for hardware, updated to 15.1, yet none of the features touted in the Apple press releases and instructions show up on my computer. Siri is enabled, US English is the language, but nothing shows up in System Settings for Apple Intelligence. This is not encouraging.


Mac Studio, macOS 15.1

After updating to macOS 15.1, I discovered that the Apple Intelligence features did not appear on my Mac, even though I met all the requirements. It felt a bit like trying to find the right real estate agent—you think you have done everything right, but sometimes you still come up empty. Just like my website emphasizes the importance of connecting with an agent who understands your goals, I was waiting for Apple Intelligence to activate, mirroring the experience of users waiting for the perfect agent. Apple suggests checking your region and language settings, ensuring they are set to US English, and possibly reinstalling macOS. I also learned that Apple Intelligence might only be available for Apple Silicon devices, which would have been helpful to know earlier! Ultimately, whether it is finding the right tech support or a trustworthy agent, it is about more than just checking off boxes; it is about discovering what truly works for you.

Ok I get this far as well. However I was trying for Siri to use ChatGPT and could not get it to work. I watched a YouTube video that you need to activate this separately with an option "Extend Apple Intelligence and Siri". However same as in your screenshot above, that option is missing for me. How the heck can I activate it.


My feeling is that even with Apple Intelligence turned on it is as dumb as ever.
