Apple Partners with Google Gemini for AI: To Improve Siri on iPhones, Musk Calls the Deal Wrong

Apple and Google have reached an agreement regarding artificial intelligence. Under this agreement, Apple’s AI foundation models will now be built on Google’s Gemini AI model and cloud infrastructure. The Google Gemini model will further enhance Apple’s new Siri and Apple Intelligence features.

Google announced this partnership in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Google stated that the partnership aims to improve Apple Intelligence features on iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks and make Siri more personalized. The statement added that the new version of Siri will be launched later this year.

Reacting to this partnership, which will see Gemini AI improve Apple’s Siri, Elon Musk wrote on the social media platform X that Google already has Android and Chrome, so this deal seems like an abuse of its power.

Musk’s company xAI develops an AI chatbot called ‘Grok,’ which directly competes with Google’s Gemini. Musk is already engaged in a legal battle against Apple and OpenAI, alleging that these companies are blocking rival AI services on the App Store. This lawsuit is currently ongoing in court.

Google’s Value Reaches $4 Trillion After Deal News: Following the news of the deal, shares of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, rose by more than 1% on Monday. This pushed the company’s market value past $4 trillion (361 lakh crore rupees).

Google has become the world’s second most valuable company. Under this partnership, Google’s Gemini model will run on Apple’s ‘Private Cloud Computing’ infrastructure, and the new Siri is expected to be launched by the end of this year.

Apple Says Google’s Technology is the Best: Apple praised Google’s technology, stating that Gemini proved to be the best during their evaluation process. According to Apple, Gemini provides the most capable foundation for Apple’s foundation models.
