Apple to Power New Siri with Google’s Massive Gemini AI Model in $1 Billion Deal

Apple plans to use an artificial intelligence model from Google to upgrade its Siri voice assistant. Bloomberg News reported this major development. Apple will use Google’s powerful Gemini model as a temporary solution. The goal is to fill the gap until Apple’s own AI systems are complete.

The companies are finalizing a deal reportedly worth about $1 billion per year. Google’s model has 1.2 trillion parameters. This complexity far exceeds Apple’s current AI capabilities. This update is critical for Siri. Rivals like Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa currently handle complex requests better.

The new deal is not a long-term partnership. Apple plans to eventually replace Gemini with its own in-house model. Privacy remains a key focus. The Gemini model will run on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute servers. This ensures user data stays isolated from Google. The revamped, more capable Siri is expected to launch with a new iOS update next year.
