Apple OS Updates to Embrace Third-Party AI Models
6 May
Summary
- New Apple OS versions will let users select their preferred AI model.
- Third-party chatbots can power system-wide AI features, including Siri.
- Internal testing includes Google and Anthropic AI model integrations.
Apple is set to release major updates to its operating systems this fall, enabling users to select their preferred AI model for various features. This move will allow third-party chatbots, referred to as "Extensions," to power not only Siri but also other core Apple Intelligence functions like Writing Tools and Image Playground.
Internally, Apple is reportedly testing integrations with AI models from Google and Anthropic. This expansion suggests that services beyond ChatGPT could soon be accessible within Apple's AI framework. Users will have the ability to choose different Siri voices depending on the AI model being utilized.
Once a compatible third-party AI app is installed via the App Store, users can designate their preferred AI model through the Settings app. This feature promises a more personalized and flexible AI experience for users across Apple's devices.
