  • Apple and Google are finalizing a $1 billion annual deal for Google's Gemini AI to power the revamped Siri.
  • Google's 1.2 trillion parameter AI model will handle Siri's summarizer and planner functions, dwarfing Apple's current models (150B cloud-based, 3B local).
  • The AI model will run on Apple's servers, ensuring user data stays within Apple's Private Cloud Compute structure.
  • Apple still aims to develop its own 1 trillion parameter cloud-based model to replace Gemini in the future.
  • Project Glenwood, overseen by Mike Rockwell, is Apple's initiative to integrate third-party AI into Siri.
  • The deal excludes some Siri features, which will continue using Apple's in-house models.
