Apple intends to give Google $1 billion annually to use Gemini to improve Siri
Apple is about to strike a multibillion-dollar deal with Google to replace Siri's AI system with the Gemini system. After years of trial and error, Apple gave in and sought third-party help to stay in the AI race. Following news of a possible partnership between the two tech giants, it was revealed today that Siri's powered AI will be a real force.
According to journalist Mark Gorman, Apple is close to striking a deal with Google to revive Siri. The report suggests that Apple is willing to pay up to $1 billion a year for a powerful language model based on Gemini. This decision will end months of rumors and speculation about the future of the smart assistant powered by Apple technologies.
According to sources, Apple will have access to a language model with 1.2 trillion parameters, which represents a huge leap compared to Apple's most powerful model. To illustrate just how powerful it is, the custom version of Gemini, which will run Siri, has eight times more transactions than Apple's, meaning it can process complex information, understand context, and perform advanced tasks.
The Gemini version of Siri is designed to handle summarizing and scheduling functions, while other tasks will use internal forms. Perhaps most importantly, this model will run on Apple's servers, preventing users from worrying about the privacy of their data.
However, the partnership between them doesn't mean that Apple will abandon developing in-house AI models. Apple will continue to develop its own artificial intelligence to eventually replace Gemini, just as Microsoft does with OpenAI.
