Apple Gains Deep Access to Google’s Gemini Models in Expansive AI Partnership
A new report reveals that Apple’s AI partnership with Google is far more extensive than previously believed, granting Apple full access to Gemini models inside its own data centers. This allows Apple to create smaller, distilled versions of Gemini tailored for on‑device tasks, improving speed and efficiency while maintaining strong performance. The report also notes challenges, as Apple’s Siri goals don’t always align with Gemini’s strengths, and Apple’s internal Foundation Models team continues its own work. Major Siri upgrades, such as memory of past conversations and proactive suggestions, are expected to debut at WWDC in June.
