The Information reports that Apple’s partnership with Google grants the company deeper access to the Gemini AI model than previously known. Apple will host Gemini within its own data centers to ensure strict user privacy standards.
The agreement allows Apple to use a technique called distillation to create smaller, more efficient versions of Google's foundational model. These specialized models will run directly on iPhones to enhance performance and processing speed for specific tasks. This strategy enables Apple to accelerate the development and rollout of its custom AI features.
