Apple Explores OpenAI and Anthropic AI Models for Siri Upgrade

Apple is in discussions with OpenAI and Anthropic to integrate their artificial intelligence models into a revamped version of Siri, signaling a strategic pivot toward third-party AI solutions. The MOVE underscores Apple's willingness to look beyond its in-house technology to enhance its voice assistant capabilities.

Preliminary talks involve training customized large language models (LLMs) on Apple's cloud infrastructure for testing. While discussions remain in early stages, the potential collaboration could mark a significant shift in Apple's AI strategy, which has faced delays and internal restructuring.

Market reaction was positive, with Apple's stock rising 2% following the news. The company had previously announced a delay in Siri's AI improvements until 2026, amid leadership changes in its AI division.
