Apple Could Team Up With OpenAI Or Anthropic To Power Siri AI Features
Apple's AI journey has hit multiple hurdles and the company is yet to fully challenge ChatGPT and Gemini AI in the market. And now reports suggest Apple could look at external help to power its own Siri AI push rather than invest in building its AI models. Yes, Apple could team up with OpenAI or Anthropic for ChatGPT or Claude AI chatbot, respectively that will become the backbone on which Siri offers its AI-powered upgrades.
The company was widely tipped to make big AI related news at the WWDC 2025 keynote in June but that didn't work out as expected. Now, Apple could be making a smart move by using the available AI models and focus on other parts of its ecosystem.
Apple AI Powered By ChatGPT
Apple has already partnered with OpenAI to make ChatGPT work on iPhones. But the new linkup will mean that the company will entirely rely on ChatGPT or Claude AI to make Siri talk in the conversational tone, which could also include sending data to the OpenAI server for using more features.
The fact that Apple is not finding it hard to develop powerful AI models will surely become a concern in the long term, especially for a brand that is valued at well over trillion dollars. People have known Apple to be a leader in the industry rather than following others, which could very well be the case when it comes to its own AI prospects.
OpenAI will surely be happy with any possible deal with Apple, however, it is likely that the Cupertino-based giant will require any of the Siri AI support to work through its own private AI cloud powered by its data centres. After all, Apple continues to vouch for user privacy and that could become a hindrance for possible deals with either of these AI companies.
The AI Regrets?
The company has been grilled over its AI strategy and in a recent interview with WSJ, both Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak were asked why Siri is worse than its rivals. Both Apple executives did not have a clear response, and reports suggest Federighi is a big reason as to why the company has fallen short in the AI arena till date. Apple has reportedly never understood the hype around AI and those apprehensions have resulted in a situation where the company needs a helping hand from other established AI giants.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman 'challenges' Elon Musk after his LIAR post: I will apologise if...
The public feud between tech billionaires Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has escalated into a war of words on X. The dispute began when Musk accused Apple of manipulating its App Store rankings. In a swift counter-attack, Altman fired back, alleging that Musk himself manipulates his social media platform to benefit his own companies and attack rivals. Musk retaliated by calling Altman a liar, only for Altman to throw a challenge. 'Will you sign an affidavit that you have never directed changes to the X algorithm in a way that has hurt your competitors or helped your own companies?' Altman asked Musk, adding, 'I will apologize if so'. How public spat between Elon Musk and Sam Altman started The conflict was ignited when Musk announced his company, xAI , would take legal action against Apple. His frustration stemmed from the fact that OpenAI's ChatGPT holds the top spot among free apps on the App Store, while his own Grok chatbot ranks fifth. 'Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. xAI will take immediate legal action,' Musk said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Altman fired back at Elon Musk, alleging the billionaire manipulates his social media platform Twitter to benefit his companies and harm competitors.
