APPLE WEIGHS USING ANTHROPIC OR OPENAI TO POWER SIRI IN MAJOR REVERSAL

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple is considering sidelining its own in-house models and using AI technology from Anthropic or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri. It has asked both companies to train versions of their models that could run on Apple's cloud infrastructure for testing. Switching to a third-party provider for Siri would be an acknowledgment that Apple is struggling to compete in generative AI. Apple's investigation into third-party models is at an early stage and the company hasn't made a final decision on using them.
