Apple has struck a deal with tech giant Google to power its Siri AI assistant using Gemini's models. The collaboration marks a significant shift in the way Apple approaches artificial intelligence, as it seeks to bolster its Siri features.
According to sources close to the matter, Apple is set to harness the capabilities of Google's Al technology to inform the development of its new AI framework. This partnership has been months in the making, with rumors surfacing last year about potential partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic. However, it appears that Google ultimately emerged as the preferred partner.
The agreement enables Apple to tap into Google's Gemini models, which are designed to provide more accurate and informative responses for users. By leveraging these models, Apple aims to significantly enhance its Siri capabilities, including a revamped voice assistant experience set to roll out later this year.
Critics have long argued that Apple's Siri has struggled to keep pace with the likes of Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant. However, with the introduction of Gemini-powered AI, it seems that the company is making significant strides in addressing these shortcomings.
Under the terms of the agreement, Apple will reportedly pay Google around $1 billion annually for access to its Gemini technology. The partnership also underscores the growing trend of tech giants collaborating on key projects, as companies seek to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving world of AI.
In a joint statement, Apple and Google confirmed the details of their partnership, emphasizing the potential benefits for users. "Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology," said the companies in a joint release.

so this is huge for Apple and Siri... they're basically copying google's AI game 
, but at least it's a good thing? I mean, who doesn't want more accurate and informative responses from their virtual assistants 
. And let's be real, $1 billion is a pretty penny 
, but hey, if it means Apple's Siri can finally hold its own against Amazon and Google 
.
.
Google! And we're all happy because now our phones won't be stuck in the Stone Age. $1 billion a year is like buying me a new gaming console every month, but I guess Apple needs that to make Siri less embarrassing.
I mean, who doesn't love having more accurate and informative responses from their AI assistant? It's about time Apple stepped up its Siri game, especially since Alexa and Google Assistant have been slaying the voice assistant scene for years.
.
. $1 billion annual payment tho? That's some serious cash, Google must be raking it in 
. Anyway, I'm hyped for this revamped Siri experience later this year! 
. But seriously, it makes sense - Gemini's models are supposed to be super accurate and informative, so I'm stoked that Siri is getting an upgrade 
. The $1 billion price tag is steep, but if it means we get a better Siri experience, it's worth it 
!
Siri has been so meh for ages, hope this new AI framework does something about it 
, but this new deal with Google might just change that! It's about time Apple stepped up its AI game 
. I hope they use it wisely and don't mess it up 
.
.
. More accurate and informative responses are always better 
. I mean, what exactly does that $1 billion get them? We should know how our tech giants are using our data 
. Back in my day, we didn't have AI assistants that could answer our every question. Now, I can just ask Siri to tell me the weather and she'll give me the forecast without even asking 
. It's wild how fast these tech giants are advancing.
they gotta pay google 1 billion tho that's some serious cash 
. Apple and Google are playing with the fire of consciousness here, trying to create this perfect Siri that can understand us without truly understanding us 
. I mean, if Google's Al tech can help Apple boost its AI capabilities, we're looking at some serious upgrades for users in the near future 
.
. The future of AI is all about collaboration, and it's exciting to see these tech giants working together to push the boundaries 
. The fact that Apple is partnering with Google shows they're willing to adapt and evolve, which is more than I can say for some other companies 
. Can't wait to see how this all plays out! 
1 billion annually is def worth it if it means they can finally compete 
anyway, this partnership could be a game-changer for AI development in the industry... we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out
