Apple partners with Google Gemini to upgrade Siri
05/11/2025 | DigiTimes
Apple is reportedly overhauling its Siri voice assistant for a spring 2026 launch by extensively integrating Google's Gemini large language model (LLM). To maintain its strict privacy standards, Apple will run all Gemini computations on its proprietary private cloud compute (PCC) servers.
The technical architecture has been finalised, with Apple paying Google to develop a customised version of Gemini that will operate securely within the PCC environment. Gemini will power Siri's intelligent query planning and knowledge search systems under Apple's own AI branding, with no visible Google references to users. The partnership allows Apple to enhance Siri's capabilities while its own proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) models mature. Apple is also continuing to integrate other AI companies, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, into its broader AI strategy.
