Apple plans to work with Google’s Gemini, other AI models

Apple is not performed incorporating other companies’ AI models into its items.

That is according to Craig Federighi, anyway. The senior VP of computer software engineering at Apple confirmed (by way of TechCrunch) at WWDC that Google Gemini will at some point be folded into the “Apple Intelligence” suite of AI capabilities. Federighi wasn’t precise about what that meant or when it would take place, but one particular can reasonably assume it would function similarly to how the newly announced ChatGPT integration will function later this year.

“We’re hunting forward to carrying out integrations with other models, such as Google Gemini, for instance, in the future,” Federighi mentioned.

In case you never know, the newly AI-enhanced Siri will optionally prompt customers to go to ChatGPT (devoid of needing to log in with an account) if Siri feels like ChatGPT can far better respond to a prompt than it can. Theoretically, Google Gemini integration would function the exact same way, but we can not say something definitively proper now primarily based on a rapid tease from Federighi.

As a reminder, you require an iPhone 15 Pro (or newer), or an iPad or MacBook with at least an M1 chip to use any of these capabilities, so a majority of folks will not have access to them when they launch later this year.
