Bloomberg broke the news last weekend that Apple is negotiating with Google and plans to introduce the Gemini model into the iOS/iPadOS system to provide certain AI functions for the iPhone/iPad.
The New York Times recently confirmed this news again from internal channels and disclosed more details. The relevant content is as follows:
Apple has indeed begun discussions with Google to use Gemini’s generative AI models in the next iPhone.
Three people familiar with the matter said the talks are preliminary and the exact scope of the potential deal has not yet been determined. Apple has also been in discussions with other artificial intelligence companies, one of the people said, and it hopes to harness the power of large language models to analyze large amounts of data and generate text on its own.
Two people familiar with its development revealed that although Apple is developing its own large-scale language model, the gap with ChatGPT and Gemini will not be able to catch up in a short time.
