🧠 What’s New — Apple Licenses Google Gemini
Apple is reportedly nearing a deal to license a 1.2-trillion-parameter version of Google’s Gemini—about $1B per year—to power a major Siri transformation, according to Bloomberg.
🔒 The Details
Gemini will run on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute to preserve data privacy.
It will drive summarization and multi-step reasoning inside Siri.
Apple previously tested models from OpenAI and Anthropic, but Gemini’s scale (1.2T > 150B) represents a substantial leap.
The partnership is expected to remain behind the scenes, with Google acting as a silent tech supplier.
A refreshed Siri experience could debut as early as Spring 2026.
⚙️ Why It Matters
After years of stagnation, Siri is being re-engineered for the AI era. If Apple licenses Google Gemini, it gives Apple a faster path to competitive reasoning and summarization while it continues developing its own next-gen models.
🌍 The Bigger Picture
The move signals Apple’s willingness to source frontier AI while its internal efforts mature—accelerating Siri’s capabilities without compromising on privacy or ecosystem control.
