Overview

  • Bloomberg reports Apple approached Google for a custom Gemini model, and Google has begun training it to operate on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute.
  • Talks are in early stages with no agreement in place, and Apple is still weeks from deciding between internal models or a partner.
  • Apple is testing parallel versions of the new assistant, one powered by its own LLMs and another by third‑party models integrated into Apple Intelligence.
  • Software chief Craig Federighi described a “second‑generation” Siri architecture following an end‑to‑end revamp aimed at enabling more advanced, personalized features.
  • Apple has also explored deals with OpenAI and Anthropic, market shares rose on the latest report, and a spring 2026 launch for an LLM‑powered Siri remains a rumor.
