Apple is paying Google to fix Siri (yes really)

Summary

Apple is struggling to compete in the AI landscape, with Siri's poor performance highlighting their technological gaps. To address this, Apple is partnering with Google on a $1 billion custom AI model with 1.2 trillion parameters, essentially outsourcing their AI development to catch up with competitors like Microsoft and OpenAI. Despite having significant financial resources, Apple has been unable to internally develop AI technology that meets competitive standards, leading them to seek external solutions to improve their artificial intelligence capabilities.
