iOS 27

Apple's senior vice president Craig Federighi disclosed that iOS 27's Siri AI uses a family of third-generation Apple Foundation Models trained with outputs from Google's Gemini frontier models. The most capable model, AFM Cloud Pro, runs on Nvidia GPUs in Google's cloud infrastructure while maintaining Apple's Private Cloud Compute privacy architecture.

Apple will allow iPhone users to select from multiple third-party AI models to power system features in iOS 27, launching later this year. The feature, called 'Extensions,' will integrate models from Google and Anthropic into Siri, Writing Tools, Image Playground, and other Apple Intelligence features.

Apple plans to introduce an Extensions system in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 that will allow users to select third-party AI models for generative AI tasks. AI companies can opt in through App Store programs to power Apple Intelligence features including Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground.

Apple will allow iOS 27 users to select third-party AI models from companies like Google and Anthropic to power Siri, Writing Tools, and other Apple Intelligence features. The new "Extensions" system lets users choose which AI model responds to queries, with support for custom Siri voices per model.
