I don't know why this is being downvoted -- I guess others are reading something different than I am?
There are three parts to Siri:
1. Speech-to-text (parent has it backwards but that's what he means, obviously)
2. Text-to-intent (referred to by parent as NLP)
3. Intent-to-API calls
Obviously, (1) happens in the cloud and (3) happens on the device. It is still unclear where (2) happens but if the cloud service only responds with text, it seems that (2) happens on the device.

And (2) is still a hard problem by itself.
