When it comes to the brains powering the next-gen Siri, it appears that all options are on the table.
A new report from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg tells us that Apple is working with Google to test out a custom version of Gemini that could power Apple’s next-gen Siri voice assistant in the cloud.
The report says Apple is in “early discussions” and that Google is currently training a version of its Gemini AI assistant that can run on Apple’s cloud infrastructure. This is similar to the partnerships Apple has explored with Anthropic’s Claude or OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Apple is creating a next-gen, “LLM Siri” using its own models while at the same time developing an infrastructure that could see the new Siri powered by a third-party AI model.
