Apple will use a custom Google Gemini AI version for next Siri

[gspotman]

This tell you Gemini AI is good stuff if Apple is going to spend $1 billion a year for it.

"Apple is turning to Google to make a custom Gemini AI model to power the next version of its virtual assistant Siri for spring 2026, according to a Nov. 2 report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. A subsequent report on Wednesday states Apple will pay $1 billion per year for this new 1.2 trillion parameter model.

Apple reportedly was evaluating whether to use Google or AI competitor Anthropic for the next version of Siri. While Apple will pay Google $1 billion per year, it would have cost $1.5 billion per year with Anthropic, according to an earlier Bloomberg report."

You never know why spend money developing what is already out there if the cost benefit is worth it.

No one seems to care about this, it is big news if you think about it. Where are the elected politicians standing up for our privacy and rights.

Ever since Siri came out I have used it all the time, it is a fantastic tool .

Why is Apple not developing their own solution, it makes them depend on Google.
