According to a recent report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is gearing up to implement Google's Gemini AI model to enhance the capabilities of its digital assistant, Siri. This move comes with a hefty yearly price tag, as Apple is expected to shell out $1 billion to Google for the rights to utilize the customized 1.2 trillion parameter AI model.
Apple's Adoption of Google's Gemini AI Model
Gurman's report indicates that Apple will be incorporating a bespoke 1.2 trillion parameter artificial intelligence model based on Google's Gemini Large Language Model (LLM). Negotiations are currently underway between Apple and Google, with both tech behemoths working towards finalizing a deal that would see Apple paying Google a significant sum annually for the access to Gemini's LLM model.
Comparison with Apple's Current AI Model
The magnitude of the Gemini AI model surpasses Apple's existing in-house model, offering enhanced processing abilities, improved contextual understanding, and a more robust data processing capability. This move is part of Apple's strategy to bolster its AI offerings until it can develop its own powerful models in the future.
Future Endeavors and Developments
While Apple plans to leverage Gemini for Siri's data synthesis and task management, the company is also working on cultivating its own 1 trillion parameter cloud-based AI model. This independent model is anticipated to debut as early as next year, marking a significant milestone in Apple's AI evolution.
