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.

As part of this proposed new plan, Apple has asked Anthropic and OpenAI to train versions of its models that can run on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, secure servers running on Apple chips. The company already relies on its servers for certain AI features that can't be run locally.
