The company previously approached OpenAI and Anthropic for similar discussions about using their technology to power Siri, and reportedly, Google has begun training a model that could run on Apple’s servers. Apple is not expected to make a decision about whether to bring on a partner for the Siri revamp for another several weeks.

As the tech industry continues to navigate the rise of AI technology, a handful have managed to establish in-house language models. Apple is not among them, and according to a new report, may be tapping an unlikely ally to help bolster Siri: Google.

Apple is in early talks with Google to use Gemini for a new version of Siri, part of a broader effort to catch up in AI after delays.
