According to relevant media reports, the latest statements from Google's CEO Sundar Pichai and Chief Business Officer Phil Schiller during Alphabet's Q4 2025 earnings call have shed light on where the new version of Siri powered by the Gemini large model will run. While Apple has long emphasized its commitment to user privacy, Google executives have clearly stated that Google has become Apple's "preferred cloud service provider," and is helping to develop the next generation of Apple's foundational large model.
For a long time, Apple's AI inference computations have mainly been carried out through local processing on devices or private cloud computing (PCC), ensuring data security. However, as the collaboration on the new version of Siri with Gemini progresses, it is speculated that the computing model may change. Although Tim Cook previously reiterated the company's commitment to privacy standards and vaguely denied speculation that Google would directly access user data, Google's statements seem to indicate that some core AI computations will be directly deployed on Google servers equipped with tensor processing units (TPUs).
Currently, Apple and Google are keeping the specific deployment details of the Gemini version of Siri confidential. Industry analysis suggests this may be because both parties are still finalizing the last details of the cooperation, and the feature rollout will be done in phases. There are even rumors that Apple may separate Siri and Apple Intelligence into two systems, running on different cloud infrastructures to balance technical support and privacy protection needs.
Key Points:
☁️ Google Confirms as Preferred Cloud Service Provider: Google executives confirmed that they will provide underlying cloud computing power for the next-generation Apple Siri powered by Gemini.
🔒 Trade-off Between Privacy Protection and Technical Needs: While Apple officially emphasizes privacy standards, the computing platform for the new AI features may shift toward Google servers.
🚀 Phased Rollout and Separate Architecture: The details of the new Siri have not been fully disclosed, and future deployment may adopt a cross-platform model depending on the functional modules.
