Apple might use Gemini to power its revamped version of Siri, Bloomberg reports<\/a>. The companies are in the early stages of exploring a partnership, with Google training a version of its Gemini model that can run on Apple’s servers. The iPhone maker was previously reported to be considering similar partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The company is simultaneously developing two versions of the new Siri: one dubbed Linwood that is powered by its models and another code-named Glenwood that runs on outside technology, ” Bloomberg writes. A final decision has yet to be made on what AI model Apple will ultimately use, but it’s entirely possible it sticks with its internally-developed models.<\/p>\n

While seceding a potentially key technology to a competitor seems decidedly un-Apple, it’s a testament to how much difficulty the company has had rolling out Apple Intelligence. Apple included the majority of its new AI features in the release of iOS 18<\/a>, but failed to ship an updated version of Siri that can draw on personal data to take action in apps. Apple ultimately admitted the Siri update was delayed<\/a> in March, with the new launch now expected sometime in 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The turmoil caused by the delay reportedly led to Apple’s various AI projects changing hands internally<\/a>, and the company’s decision to consider using a third-party AI model. As of the launch of the Pixel 10<\/a>, Gemini now offers a similar set of capabilities to what Apple promised with the new Siri. It could presumably do the same things on iOS with the right changes. Using a version of Gemini that runs on Apple’s hardware and servers \u2014 the company calls this Private Cloud Compute \u2014 could also add an additional layer of security.<\/p>\n

Apple was reportedly planning to offer Gemini<\/a> as an alternative to ChatGPT in Apple Intelligence, but the option has yet to ship. Having Gemini power some of its AI features would put Apple in a similar position to Samsung, who’s Galaxy AI relies on a mix of custom models and Gemini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple might use Gemini to power its revamped version of Siri, Bloomberg reports.
