Siri AI at WWDC 2026

Apple announced the integration of a custom Gemini-derived model for Siri AI, leveraging vision LLMs to enhance functionality without requiring custom app code. The new Core AI library allows developers to utilize Apple's hardware for their models via the Core AI PyTorch extensions, facilitating the transition of existing PyTorch models to Apple's infrastructure. This development is significant for practitioners as it enhances the capability to deploy advanced AI models on Apple devices while maintaining security and privacy standards through their Private Cloud Compute architecture, now extended to Google Cloud with NVIDIA hardware support.
