Apple is reportedly considering using AI models from external providers OpenAI and Anthropic instead of its own in-house technology for the enhanced version of its popular voice assistant, Siri. This information was reported by Bloomberg.
While Apple continues to work on an internal project called “LLM Siri,” developing its own AI models, the company has asked OpenAI and Anthropic to create versions of their models that can run on Apple’s cloud infrastructure for testing purposes.
Originally, Apple planned to launch the AI-powered Siri in 2025, but due to technical challenges, the release is now expected to be delayed until 2026 or later. Experts note that Apple has been falling behind industry leaders like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic in the AI race.
Currently, Siri can use ChatGPT to help answer complex questions. However, Apple is now aiming for a deeper integration with third-party AI services.
This move highlights Apple’s intention to strengthen its competitiveness in artificial intelligence and deliver a more advanced and intelligent assistant experience to its users.
