Apple is negotiating with Google to incorporate its Gemini AI into the iPhone. Meanwhile, it is also developing its own multimodal LLM, it seems.

The end of voice assistant Siri seems in sight as Apple talks with Google about implementing its Gemini AI. That's an AI that can handle text, images and sound - combined or not.

Press agency Bloomberg reports the news, adding that the companies will not discuss details of the deal until next summer. That is, after all, when Apples Worldwide Developers Conference takes place. CEO Tim Cook had already announced his AI plans will be detailed at that meeting.

Gemini is Google's version of ChatGPT.

The two tech giants already have a strategic partnership with each other. Google is the preferred provider of the Web search engine in Apples hardware. For that, it pays 36 percent of the advertising revenue coming in through Safari.

Late last week, Apple researchers published a paper outlining their take on AI language models. In it, they focus on what foundations and design principles an LLM should be built on. Furthermore, they present the outline of and own AI under the name MM1. In doing so, the researchers promise a system that can reason efficiently, context-dependently.

Another AI development in recent days is the publication of the foundations of Grok, xAI's chatbot. That's Elon Musk's AI company.
