Apple plans to power a revamped Siri using Google’s cloud infrastructure and Nvidia’s Blackwell B200 GPUs. This shift marks a significant departure from the company's traditional in-house strategy. Apple expects to unveil these AI enhancements at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
Google’s Gemini AI model will process complex Siri queries on external servers. Apple will utilize Nvidia’s confidential computing feature to encrypt user data during processing. This measure aims to maintain user privacy while leveraging third-party hardware.
Apple turned to external partners after its Private Cloud Compute infrastructure struggled with performance demands. The company will now rely on Google and Nvidia for the cloud-based components of its new AI features.
