Apple and Google have entered a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will use Google's Gemini models and cloud technology, announced in a press release. The partnership will support future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized version of Siri expected later this year.

According to the joint statement, Apple Inc. selected Google’s AI technology as the foundation for its upcoming models after an internal evaluation.
