"There's a scene from an episode of Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in which David is in his car trying to get driving directions from Siri. But each time he utters a command, Siri completely misinterprets what he says and serves up the wrong response. This goes on for a while. Finally out of patience, David hurls some nasty expletives at Siri, which the voice assistant also misunderstands, leaving him with no directions and lots of frustration."
"Reports of a new LLM (large language model) Siri surfaced in late 2024. At the time, Apple watcher Mark Gurman said that this upcoming version was already being tested internally on iPhones, iPads, and Macs as a standalone app. The goal was to launch the new Siri sometime in the spring of 2026. And so far, that timeframe appears to be on track."
Apple plans to release a revamped Siri that uses a large language model to deliver chatbot-like interactions and specialized skills. Siri has historically misinterpreted voice commands and produced frustrating errors, prompting calls for improved accuracy. Internal testing reportedly occurred on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, and Apple aims to debut the LLM-powered Siri with iOS 26.4 in March, with an expected iOS 26.4 beta in February after iOS 26.3 beta in January. The new assistant is intended to behave more like ChatGPT or Google Gemini while reducing error rates and improving practical utility.
