According to Bloomberg, Apple is nearing an agreement with Google to pay approximately $1 billion annually for a customized version of Google's Gemini AI model to support a full upgrade of its Siri voice assistant. This move marks a significant shift for Apple in the field of artificial intelligence, as it has previously relied mainly on its own technology. This collaboration will breathe new life into Siri until Apple's own AI technology reaches a higher level.

Google's customized AI model has 1.2 trillion parameters, far exceeding Apple's current model. It is understood that Apple's existing cloud-based intelligent system only uses 150 billion parameters, which means Google's model is about eight times more complex and capable than Apple's current technology. In order to find the right partner, Apple considered using AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic earlier this year. After extensive testing, it finally decided to collaborate with Google.

The upgraded Siri is expected to be released next spring. However, since there are still several months until the official launch, Apple's plans may be adjusted. Apple has high expectations for the future of its voice assistant and hopes that this collaboration will enhance user experience and add more new features that are about to be launched.

Key Points:

🔹 Apple will reach an agreement with Google, paying $1 billion annually to use its AI technology.   

🔹 Google's Gemini AI model will significantly surpass Apple's current system.   

🔹 The upgraded Siri is expected to be released next spring, and specific plans may change.
