Google Gemini will power Apple’s next gen version of Siri.

In a statement shared with CNBC today, Apple confirmed that Google Gemini will power the next-generation version of Siri that is slated to launch later this year.

"After careful evaluation, we determined that Google's technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models and we're excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users," the statement said.

The report explicitly mentioned that Google Gemini will power Siri, as was expected. Apple's decision to lean on Google's artificial intelligence technology should result in the revamped Siri being more capable and advanced than it otherwise would have been, as Gemini's large language model is significantly larger than Apple's own model.

I’m glad I went with Google Gemini over ChatGPT. It just makes more sense since Google has much more data points to learn from and make their AI platform more robust than the competition. Apple doesn’t have to be the best at everything - they just need to have the best implementation, even if that means using other companies’ products and services.
