🤖 Apple to use Google Gemini for new Siri

|
- A report indicates Apple will quietly rely on Google Gemini models for much of the new Siri experience, moving away from trying to compete directly with existing AI chatbots.
- This approach is considered more sensible because the company no longer has to catch up with a rapidly moving target, which was a main reason for previous skepticism.
- A huge integration task is still required to make third-party models work seamlessly within the Apple ecosystem, which is why some doubts about the project’s success currently remain.
