Apple CEO Tim Cook answers the ‘big’ question: Why Google and not Sam Altman’s OpenAI for new Siri
Apple went with Google over Sam Altman’s OpenAI for one straightforward reason: better technology. CEO Tim Cook laid it out plainly during the company’s latest earnings call when asked about the new Siri partnership.
“We basically determined that Google’s AI technology would provide the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models,” Cook told analysts. The multi-year deal will see Google’s Gemini models power a revamped Siri and future Apple Intelligence features arriving later this year.
