Apple is revamping Siri with Google AI!

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares rose by 2.3% to reach their highest level of the day after Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported plans to use Google's 1.2 trillion parameter artificial intelligence model for an upcoming Siri update, according to a Bloomberg report.

The tech giant is reportedly in the final stages of an agreement that includes an annual payment of approximately $1 billion for access to Google’s advanced AI technology. After evaluating several third-party models, including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude, Apple selecting Google’s Gemini model is seen as a significant step in this partnership.

Apple’s decision to rely on Google’s AI capabilities represents a significant vote of confidence in Alphabet’s technology. The 1.2 trillion parameter model significantly exceeds the complexity of Apple’s existing AI systems, positioning Google as a critical partner in Apple’s AI strategy.

The revamped Siri is expected to be launched next spring, and Apple views Google’s technology as a temporary solution until its own AI models are strong enough. This timing aligns with previous Bloomberg reports regarding Apple’s AI roadmap.
