The news of January 13, this morningappleand Google A multi-year in-depth cooperation agreement was officially announced. The next generation of Apple Foundations will be based directly on Google Gemini Models and cloud technology are built and will be used for this year ' s launch of the brand-new Apple Intelligence feature, including the new and substantially upgraded AI Siri。
In the joint statement, both sides stated that Google ' s AI technology, after careful assessment, provided the "most powerful basis" for apples。
In the future, the Apple's end-end model and private cloud computing (Private Cloud Company) will continue to carry out privacy-sensitive tasks, while Gemini will be responsible for more complex reasoning, summary and mission planning capabilities。Apple emphasizes that user data does not directly contact the Google system.
Many media have previously reported that the negotiations between Apple and Google date back to last August and that Apple plans to pay about $1 billion a year to use Gemini technology. With the landing of the agreement, the stock price of Google parent company Alphabet rose once and the market value exceeded $4 trillion。
Google also gained a strategic advantage: Gemini will go directly into billions of apples around the world, further consolidating its leading position in AI. CEO Sandar Pichai had previously indicated that the Google Cloud Operation had signed more than $1 billion in contracts in the third quarter of last year than the sum of the previous two years。
It is worth noting that shortly after the joint statement was issued, Mask was "sitting" and, in X, he criticized Google as having both Android, Chrome and Apple AI technology, which could lead to "unreasonable concentration of power"。
This cooperation was seen as a key "time-for-time" initiative in the big model competition。
According to publicly available information, Google provided a Gemini model of 1.2 trillion parameters, well above the existing self-study models of approximately 150 billion parameters for apples. In the context of the new version of Siri's multiple extensions and the core brain drain of the Apple AI team, the introduction of mature models becomes a practical option。
Notably, the national version AI Siri is not expected to use Gemini and apples may use indigenous cooperation programmes or special versions of models。
With Gemini access, apples are expected to launch a stronger Siri and Apple Intelligence functionality as planned this year. Modularized structures also allow apples to introduce third-party models and continue to advance self-study routes while maintaining privacy controls。
