Jan 12 : Alphabet said on Monday it had entered into a multi-year deal with Apple where the next generation of the iPhone maker's AI models will be based on Google's Gemini models.

The tie-up signals a strong vote of confidence in Google's AI technology, after its most recent version of Gemini launched to strong reviews, intensifying pressure on rivals.

Google's models will power Apple's future "Apple Intelligence" features, including the revamped Siri, set to launch this year.

"After careful evaluation, Apple determined that Google's AI technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models," Google said in a statement.

"Apple Intelligence will continue to run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute, while maintaining Apple's industry-leading privacy standards."
