Apple\u2019s big unveiling of iOS 27, the new Siri, and other WWDC reveals are little more than one week away<\/a>. And today, a new report<\/a> has fresh details on how Apple\u2019s partnership with Google for AI features is being implemented behind the scenes.<\/p>\n Report details how Apple plans to implement new AI features behind-the-scenes<\/p>\n Today The Information has a wide-ranging report<\/a> from Aaron Tilley on what to expect from Apple\u2019s AI announcements at WWDC. It focuses on the core technologies behind the features Apple will announce, not the features themselves.<\/p>\n The report stresses that Apple will continue touting on-device processing as a priority for its next wave of AI features. It says, \u201cApple is using a version of Google\u2019s large Gemini model to train a smaller version of the model that can run locally on Apple devices, a process known as distillation.\u201d Tilley adds:<\/p>\n Apple is also on the lookout to acquire smaller companies that can assist in the e\ufb00ort of shrinking down AI models to run on its devices, people familiar with the company said. One such company it has considered acquiring is Liquid AI, a Cambridge, Mass.-based startup specializing in running AI locally on devices, said people familiar with Apple\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n However, many AI queries are expected to still need cloud support. That\u2019s because the full Gemini model provided by Google has \u201ctrillions of parameters\u201d and \u201crequires so much computing horsepower that Apple has struggled to get it to work on its own internal server infrastructure, called Private Cloud Compute.\u201d<\/p>\n The solution reportedly involves turning to Google Cloud and Nvidia\u2019s AI chips.<\/p>\n some user queries to a new version of Siri will run in Google Cloud on a licensed version of the search giant\u2019s Gemini model. Apple recently approved the use of a privacy technology from Nvidia in that setting, suggesting it will use Nvidia AI chips for at least some of its computing needs in Google Cloud, according to people familiar with the matter\u2026Confidential compute is a security feature inside Nvidia graphics processing units that encrypts data and AI models as they are being processed. When enabled, it slightly slows down the processing of AI queries in the cloud, but it could help Apple keep its promises about protecting users\u2019 privacy.<\/p>\n Tilley says that Apple\u2019s decision to use Nvidia\u2019s confidential compute system is very fresh, happening \u201cin recent weeks.\u201d And the company continues seeking more ways to handle AI features in the cloud while still upholding strong privacy protections.<\/p>\n On that note, Tilley says Apple is expected to continue using the \u2018Private Cloud Compute\u2019 branding for its next wave of Apple Intelligence features, even though they will no longer run exclusively on Apple\u2019s own servers.<\/p>\n What are your takeaways from this new report on Apple\u2019s plans for Apple Intelligence and its Google deal?
