Apple WWDC 2026: Siri Renamed to Siri AI, Teams Up with Google Gemini to Launch 5 AI Models
At WWDC 2026, Apple acknowledged Siri's lagging performance and announced a deep partnership with Google—leveraging Gemini to train the next-gen foundational models while renting Nvidia's cloud GPU power. Apple rolled out 5 Apple Foundation Models (30 billion parameters from edge to cloud Pro), with Siri becoming an independent app featuring memory and cross-device sync capabilities. Apple is set to pay Google around $1 billion annually to utilize custom Gemini models.
Why It Matters: Apple is shifting from a fully self-developed approach to a "borrowing bones" model—Google provides the AI framework, Nvidia supplies the computing joints, marking a significant shift in the AI industry's division of labor.
