Title: Apple Might Use Google Servers To Store Data For Its Upgraded AI Siri

Apple has reportedly asked Google to look into "seting up servers" for a
Gemini-powered upgrade to Siri that meets Apple's privacy standards. The
Verge reports: Apple had already announced in January that Google's Gemini AI
models would help power the upgraded version of Siri it delayed last year,
but The Information's report indicates Apple might lean even more on Google
so it can catch up in AI. The original partnership announcement said that
"the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's
Gemini models and cloud technology," and that the models would "help power
future Apple Intelligence features," including "a more personalized Siri."
While the announcement noted that Apple Intelligence would "continue to run
on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute," it didn't specify if the new
Siri would run on Google's cloud. Apple's Private Cloud Compute is not only
underpowered but it's also underutilized in its current state, notes 9to5Mac,
"with the company only using about 10% of its capacity on average, leading to
some already-manufactured Apple servers to be sitting dormant on warehouse
shelves."
