Apple confirms 'multi-year' Google Gemini AI partnership
"In November, reports claimed Apple would pay Google to provide a kind of white-label version of Google Gemini AI that will run securely on Apple's own Private Cloud Compute servers. Gemini will provide query and summary capabilities, but the service will be branded as an Apple service - albeit boosted by Cupertino's own privacy features. This is likely to be the first of a small number of partnerships; the company is also thought to be on the cusp of reaching similar deals in China."
"Gemini + Apple Intelligence + App Intents = ? Morgan Stanley in December fleshed out a few potential details about a Google Gemini partnership. The analysts believe Apple will become the leading distributor of AI-capable devices, and predict more agentic AI features, such as enabling voice activation of features from third-party apps - potentially including App Intents."
Apple missed its original deadline and, after management changes, decided to work with Google to power some new features. The partnership had been rumored since last summer, and Apple has also collaborated with other companies such as OpenAI. Reports said Apple would pay Google for a white-label version of Google Gemini AI to run securely on Apple's Private Cloud Compute servers. Gemini will supply query and summary capabilities while the service is branded as Apple and enhanced by Apple's privacy features. Analysts predict Apple will lead distribution of AI-capable devices and enable more agentic AI features like voice activation for App Intents.
