For months, Apple has been working to get its AI-enhanced Siri back on track after delaying the overhauled assistant’s launch in March. Apple later appointed Vision Pro head Mike Rockwell as the leader of AI and Siri after CEO Tim Cook “lost confidence” in the team’s former chief, John Giannandrea.

Apple might abandon plans to develop its own in-house AI model to power Siri and could partner with OpenAI or Anthropic instead. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the iPhone maker has talked to both companies about using either ChatGPT or Claude to power Siri.

According to Bloomberg, Apple has already met with both companies about using their LLMs to power its smarter Siri. The companies have also been asked to train versions of their AI models that would be able to run on its Private Cloud Compute servers.
