"It may finally be time to take AI on the iPhone siri-ously. Apple and Google on Monday announced a multi-year partnership that will see Apple Foundation Models standing on the shoulders of Google Gemini models, one that will return a small portion of the roughly $20 billion Google pays annually to be Apple's default search provider. Terms of the tie-up have not been disclosed, but Bloomberg previously reported that Apple was planning to pay about $1 billion per year to utilize Google's AI technology."
""After careful evaluation, Apple determined that Google's AI technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models and is excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for Apple users," the two companies said in a joint statement. "Apple Intelligence will continue to run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute, while maintaining Apple's industry-leading privacy standards." Apple's home-grown machine learning, despite some effort to show off rather than hide behind the usual secrecy, has been beset by unkept promises and staff departures."
Apple and Google announced a multi-year partnership that will have Apple Foundation Models built on Google's Gemini models. The deal will return a small portion of Google's roughly $20 billion annual payment to be Apple's default search provider, and Bloomberg reported Apple planned to pay about $1 billion per year to use Google's AI technology. Apple Intelligence will continue running on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute while maintaining Apple's privacy standards. Apple’s internal machine learning efforts have suffered unkept promises and staff departures. An updated Gemini-flavored Apple Intelligence is expected later this year. The partnership creates competitive pressure on OpenAI and leverages Apple's hardware and privacy advantages.
