Apple teams with Google to power Siri’s next-gen AI
Apple and Google announced a multi-year collaboration to power Siri and other Apple services with Google’s Gemini AI, using it as the foundation for Apple Foundation Models that run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute while preserving privacy. Analysts view the move as pragmatic—outsourcing core AI to compete at scale—though it marks a shift from Apple’s ‘own everything’ approach. Apple has prior AI ties with OpenAI, and while terms and cost were not disclosed, regulators may scrutinize such dominant-dominance concerns as AI features gain momentum.
