INSIDE APPLE'S AI SHAKE-UP AND ITS PLANS FOR TWO NEW VERSIONS OF SIRI

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple's AI efforts have resulted in a Google partnership, management changes, and two new versions of Siri. The company had considered partnering with OpenAI or Anthropic, but Anthropic wanted too much money, and OpenAI was actively poaching Apple engineers. Google was willing to agree to a financial structure Apple deemed reasonable, and its technology had improved significantly in recent months. Apple is planning an announcement for the second half of February that will include demonstrations of the new Siri.
