Apple may take a different route with its next-generation Siri. A new report from The source claims the company is working with Google and Nvidia to power its upcoming AI features. The move marks a major shift for Apple. The company usually prefers to build its products in-house. In some cases, it also spreads work across several partners. However, this time, Apple may depend heavily on Google’s Gemini AI model and Nvidia’s Blackwell chips.
The report says some Siri requests will run through Google Cloud. Apple will reportedly use a licensed version of Gemini to handle those queries. This means certain AI tasks may not run directly on Apple’s own servers or devices.
At the same time, Google’s data centers will rely on Nvidia’s Blackwell B200 chips. These chips include a confidential computing feature. The technology encrypts user data while the chip processes it. As a result, the data remains protected during the entire process.
Apple appears focused on maintaining strong privacy and security standards. That remains important even if some requests move through a third-party cloud platform.
The company has faced criticism in recent years over delays in AI development. Therefore, this partnership could help Apple catch up faster in the growing AI race. Google gains another major customer for Gemini, while Nvidia strengthens its position in AI infrastructure.
Reports suggest Apple could introduce the first version of the smarter Siri in September. The upgraded assistant is expected to bring more advanced AI features and improved conversations.
