Apple Responds to 'Gemini' Rumors: Self-Developed Siri AI Model Built Independently
Apple executives responded to speculation that the AI model was a version of Gemini after WWDC 2026, emphasizing that Apple Foundation Models (AFM) were completely self-developed and not simply based on Google's Gemini technology. Although Gemini was used in distillation and training, the final product was completed independently using Apple's own code, technology, and data system.
