Apple reportedly considering integrating third-party AI into Siri

According to a report by Jinse Finance, Apple (AAPL.O) is considering using external artificial intelligence to revamp Siri, marking a significant shift in strategy. Apple is exploring the possibility of integrating technology from Anthropic or OpenAI to power Siri. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Apple has held discussions with both companies about using their large language models for Siri. Apple has requested that these companies train versions of their models to run test operations on Apple’s cloud infrastructure. Currently, most of Apple’s AI features are developed in-house, under what the company calls the “Apple Foundation Models,” and a new version of its voice assistant based on this technology is planned for release in 2026. However, Apple has not yet made a final decision and is still considering its own model. An internal competing project, referred to as LLM Siri, which uses Apple’s proprietary models, is also under active development.
