Apple to use Google’s AI model to run new Siri: Report
Apple plans to use a 1.2 trillion-parameter artificial intelligence model developed by Alphabet’s Google to help power a revamp of its Siri voice assistant, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.
After an evaluation, the companies are finalizing a deal that would have Apple pay about $1 billion a year for access to Google’s technology, the report said.
The iPhone maker will use Google’s Gemini model as a stopgap until its own systems are ready, Bloomberg reported. The model’s 1.2 trillion parameters, a measure of AI model complexity, would dwarf Apple’s current systems.
