Apple and Google today announced a strategic collaboration, and announced that the Apple Foundation Model will be based on Google Gemini technology. This model will be used by Apple to power Apple Intelligence and the new generation of Siri, which is expected to be introduced in 2026.
Apple is seen choosing Google's AI technology after conducting a comprehensive evaluation, looking at capabilities and others. It was also emphasized that Apple Intelligence will operate on Apple devices via Private Cloud Compute, and continues to emphasize privacy support.
Apple previously announced Apple Intelligence and the new generation of Siri around two years ago. However, they faced technical challenges and delayed their introduction. Now, after two years, it seems that Apple has chosen Google to power the support of artificial intelligence technology, thus allowing various new features on Apple Intelligence and Siri to be implemented and introduced to users.
With this development, let's all look forward to what new things Apple will bring through this Google Gemini-based model.
