Apple Working To Cram Massive Gemini Model Into iPhone To Power New Siri

Apple is reportedly working to shrink Google's Gemini models enough to power parts of a long-delayed AI-enhanced Siri on iPhones. But despite Apple's best efforts to run the AI locally, "the iPhone's Gemini makeover will lean heavily on Google and Nvidia in the cloud," reports Ars Technica. That could complicate Apple's privacy-first AI messaging, especially if complex Siri requests are routed through Google infrastructure and Nvidia's encrypted cloud-computing platform.
