For comparison, Apple\u2019s own cloud-based model has 150 billion parameters, while the on-device model, designed for local processing, has just three billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The report indicates that the custom Gemini model will <b>manage Siri\u2019s summariser<\/b> and <b>planner functions,<\/b> while Apple\u2019s in-house models will handle other features. As the Gemini model runs on Apple\u2019s Private Cloud Compute servers, <b>user data is not shared with Google<\/b>. This is a significant distinction between Apple\u2019s privacy-first stance on AI and the competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The partnership is unlikely to be long-term as Apple <b>continues to work on its cloud-based AI mode<\/b>l. It aims to release a one-trillion-parameter model as soon as next year. The \u201cmore personalised Siri\u201d powered by Gemini is on track to launch by spring 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: Bloomberg via 9to5Mac<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/lifestyle\/ai\/apple-pay-google-one-billion-gemini-siri-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomberg has revealed new details about a potential Apple-Google deal to use a custom Gemini model to power Siri.
