- Apple's collaboration with Google focuses on using proprietary Apple models powered by Apple Silicon, trained with proprietary data, and refined using insights from Gemini frontier models, not Google's client code, models, infrastructure, or knowledge bases like Google Search.
- Siri and Apple Intelligence are deeply integrated across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, featuring Liquid Glass UI, activation from the Dynamic Island, side button, or voice, and integration into Writing Tools and context menus via a System Orchestrator for privacy and coordinated requests.
- The 3rd generation Apple Foundation Models (AFM) include on-device models like AFM Core and AFM Core Advanced (multimodal and sparse architecture for features like invitation and expressive voices), and server models like AFM Cloud (optimized for latency) and AFM Cloud Pro (most capable, powered by Private Cloud Compute with NVIDIA GPUs in Google's cloud) for complex tasks, all maintaining strict privacy guarantees and not storing user data.
