Apple is reportedly exploring the use of AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to enhance its updated version of Siri, rather than relying solely on its in-house technology, according to a Bloomberg report on Monday.
The company is also developing a project internally referred to as “LLM Siri,” which utilizes its own AI models. However, Apple has asked OpenAI and Anthropic to create versions of their AI models that can operate on Apple’s cloud infrastructure for testing purposes.
