According to the latest reports, Apple is exploring a collaboration with Google, planning to introduce a customized version of Gemini large model for the upgraded Siri to be released in 2026. This move marks Apple's active efforts to seek external partners in order to significantly enhance the AI capabilities of its voice assistant.
According to sources, both sides have started discussions on the customized model, and Google has been testing models that can run on Apple hardware on its servers. If the cooperation is realized, it will be one of the latest and most significant measures Apple has taken to strengthen Siri's functions.
This potential collaboration reflects Apple's growing competitive pressure in the AI field. Although Siri was one of the first mainstream voice assistants to enter the market, its functionality and level of intelligence have gradually lagged behind competitors in recent years' AI competition. Through the collaboration with Google's Gemini, Apple may be able to quickly close this gap and provide users with a smarter and more efficient interaction experience.
Although details about this collaboration are still unclear at present, this move will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the AI assistant market landscape. Users expect Siri to offer more powerful personalized services and handle more complex tasks in the future, and the collaboration with Gemini may make this a reality.
