Google’s Gemini to power Apple’s AI features like Siri | TechCrunch
The partnership confirms previous reporting on a deal with Google. Neither Apple nor Google have confirmed the price tag, but previous reports indicate Apple could be paying Google around $1 billion / year for access to its AI technology. The deal also comes after Apple spent some time testing the technology of competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic.The custom AI model’s 1.2 trillion parameters — a measure of the software’s complexity and capability — would far exceed the level of Apple’s current models. For context, the current cloud-based version of Apple Intelligence uses 150 billion parameters, meaning Google’s model would be roughly eight times more complex.
