Apple Partners with Google for Siri AI, Plans In-House AI Chip Production by 2026

Apple has announced a multi-year partnership with Google to power its Siri overhaul using Google's Gemini AI models, marking a shift from its initial plans to develop AI independently. While Apple integrates Gemini for core functions, it continues using OpenAI's ChatGPT for complex queries. OpenAI reportedly declined to be Apple's primary AI partner to focus on developing its own AI hardware. Meanwhile, Apple is preparing to produce its own AI server chips by 2026, aiming to enhance control over its AI infrastructure and services.
