The feature is scheduled to launch in spring 2026 with iOS 26.4.Google will provide a custom Gemini model to handle Siri\u2019s summarization capabilities, running on Apple\u2019s Private Cloud Compute servers. The updated Siri will feature an interface combining text, photos, videos, and local information with AI-powered summarization. Apple plans to use its own technology for searching user data while potentially deploying Google\u2019s model for web searches and response planning.<\/p>\n<p>Google wasn\u2019t Apple\u2019s first choice for AI, but it eventually won over on price<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg sources said Apple\u2019s internal evaluations initially showed Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI outperforming Google\u2019s technology in quality tests. However, Google secured the partnership by offering better financial terms after Anthropic requested more than $1.5 billion per year.The development follows this week\u2019s federal court ruling that allows Apple to continue its Google search deal while ending exclusive distribution agreements. Apple\u2019s and Google\u2019s search deal was one of the DoJ\u2019s contentions, and during the hearing, Apple services chief Eddy Cue tried to downplay the companies\u2019 Google partnership, testifying that Google search queries from Apple devices fell for the first time in 20 years as users turn to AI-based alternatives.Cue\u2019s comments had raised questions about whether Apple might distance itself from Google, but the new AI partnership suggests the opposite. Instead of severing ties, both companies are only deepening their collaboration, with Gemini now powering Siri while continuing the good old revenue-sharing deal for Google Search.<\/p>\n<p>We Reviewed U&amp;i&#8217;s Rs 599 Earbuds &amp; Rs 949 Soundbar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple and Google have reached a formal agreement to integrate Google\u2019s Gemini model into Apple\u2019s voice assistant overhaul,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121546,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,85708,85707,85706,254,255,64,63,85705,85704,85703,85702,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-121545","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-powered-search-tool","10":"tag-apple-google-deal","11":"tag-apple-search-strategy","12":"tag-artificial-intelligence","13":"tag-artificialintelligence","14":"tag-au","15":"tag-australia","16":"tag-gemini-ai-model","17":"tag-google-siri-partnership","18":"tag-ios-26-4-features","19":"tag-siri-voice-assistant-upgrade","20":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
