Apple could combine Google’s Gemini AI into iOS sooner or later

Apple is integrating GPT-4o, the massive language mannequin that powers ChatGPT into iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and MacOS Sequioa because of a partnership with OpenAI introduced at WWDC, the corporate’s annual developer convention, on Monday. However shortly after the keynote ended, Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vp of software program engineering stated that the corporate may also bake in Gemini, Google’s household of enormous language mannequin, into its working techniques.

“We need to allow customers finally to decide on the fashions they need, perhaps Google Gemini sooner or later,” Federighi stated in a dialog with reporters after the keynote. “Nothing to announce proper now.”

The information is notable as a result of although Apple did point out plans so as to add extra AI fashions into its working system within the keynote, IT didn’t point out Gemini particularly. Letting folks select the AI mannequin they need on their gadgets as an alternative of merely foisting one on them would give Apple gadgets a degree of customization that none of its opponents like Google or Samsung have.
