Apple to Launch New Siri in September With Help of Google, Nvidia
Title: Google Cloud AI Partnerships Intensify Across Tech Sector
01Apple to Launch New Siri in September With Help of Google, Nvidia
Apple is currently on track to launch its overhauled Siri in September, to run in part on Google's cloud computing servers using Nvidia chips, according to people familiar with the matter. While Apple will try to run as much as possible of the new Siri on devices such as iPhones, certain parts of the assistant will require cloud processing power that Google Cloud will provide. This marks a significant shift in Apple's approach to voice AI, moving beyond its historical reliance on on-device processing.
This partnership represents a notable realignment in the voice AI assistant market. Apple had previously worked to keep Siri processing local to protect user privacy, but the complexity of modern AI models apparently requires cloud infrastructure. The involvement of Nvidia chips suggests the new Siri will leverage advanced AI computing capabilities comparable to other leading assistants.
