A billion-dollar handshake just changed the AI landscape. Apple officially announced today that the next generation of Siri will be powered by Google's Gemini language models, following an extensive evaluation of industry-leading AI technologies.
Apple Google Gemini Siri Partnership Details
According to CNBC, the multi-year deal allows Apple to integrate Google's generative AI directly into its ecosystem. While Apple didn't publicly state the price tag, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple will pay roughly $1 billion a year for this access. This marks a significant shift in the power dynamic between the two tech giants.
Why Now? The Pressure to Innovate
For years, Siri has faced criticism for lagging behind competitors in natural language processing. By leveraging Gemini, Apple aims to unlock "innovative new experiences" that were previously impossible with its in-house foundation models. This move suggests that Apple prioritizes user experience over maintaining a 100% proprietary software stack in the volatile AI market.
