Apple picks Google's Gemini to power Siri's next generation
Apple selects Google's Gemini models to power Siri, replacing OpenAI as the primary AI partner for Apple's voice assistant.
Apple has decided to power Siri with Google's Gemini models and cloud technology, marking a significant partnership and a setback for OpenAI, which was initially partnered with Apple. Anthropic launched "Cowork," a product preview for Claude's coding capabilities, sparking discussions about "LLM OS". OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Health and acquired Torch to expand in healthcare AI. DeepSeek unveiled Engram, a new conditional memory module that enables O(1) lookup-style memory for static patterns, improving long-context handling and offering hardware-friendly optimizations to scale knowledge capacity efficiently.
Engram is positioned as a key modeling primitive for next-gen sparse models, with ongoing community debate about its architectural merits and practical impact.
