A new report indicates that Apple is preparing to use a special version of Google’s Gemini model to support advanced AI features inside Siri. The company is expected to pay Google about one billion dollars every year for access to the technology, which will help Siri generate summaries and handle planning tasks.
According to the report, Apple will run this customised Gemini model on its Private Cloud Compute servers. At the same time, the company will continue to rely on its own models for several Siri functions. The customised Gemini model is said to use around one point two trillion parameters, which is far higher than the one hundred fifty billion parameter model used in the cloud version of Apple Intelligence today.
Apple has been working to fix delays in the rollout of its upgraded AI features. Earlier reports said the company had considered using models from two other major AI firms before finally moving toward an agreement with Google. Sources say this arrangement is different from the existing setup that allows Siri to rely on chatbot features like those currently available through ChatGPT.
Last week, Apple’s chief executive told investors that the new Siri is expected to launch next spring. He also noted that Apple Intelligence is open to further third party AI partnerships. Even as Apple moves ahead with Google, the report says the company will keep developing its own AI systems that could eventually replace the Gemini model in the future.
