[Apple Plans to Pay About $1 Billion Annually to Introduce Google Gemini to Support the New Siri] According to Bloomberg, Apple plans to reach an agreement with Google to introduce a custom Gemini model with 1.2 trillion parameters, which will handle the summarizer and planner functions of Siri, at an annual cost of approximately $1 billion. The new Siri is expected to launch next spring, with some functions still relying on Apple’s self-developed models, running on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute to ensure data isolation. This plan serves as a transitional solution, as Apple is simultaneously developing a cloud-based model with approximately 1 trillion parameters, aiming to replace Gemini in the future. Due to Google’s restrictions, the Chinese version of Siri will adopt a localized solution and collaborate with Alibaba’s filtering layer and Baidu’s partnership framework.
