Hello Efbeck33,

To restart the process, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, look for the Image Playground or Siri app, and if you see temporary files related to AI, delete them. Then temporarily disable Apple Intelligence in your settings, change the language of your iPhone to English (United States), then immediately put it back in French. Finally, reactivate Apple Intelligence by staying connected to your Wi-Fi because this will force the system to clear the cache and properly restart the download. Have a nice day :)
