Apple is planning a major AI overhaul of Siri that will make the digital assistant more like OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Google\u2019s Gemini Live, according to a report from Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>. The assistant, reportedly called \u201cLLM Siri,\u201d will be powered by Apple\u2019s AI models and will let users have more conversational, natural-sounding interactions with Siri.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As part of Apple\u2019s plan to infuse its iPhones with AI, Bloomberg<\/em> says the company will make Siri better at handling more advanced tasks. The assistant will have an \u201cexpanded\u201d ability to use App Intents to interact with third-party apps, while also using Apple Intelligence to summarize and write text, too. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Though Apple could announce these plans as soon as next year, the company intends to replace Siri\u2019s underlying software with the new system in the spring of 2026, according to Bloomberg<\/em>. During an interview with The Wall Street Journa<\/em><\/a>l<\/em> last month, Apple senior vice president of software Craig Federighi hinted at how an AI-enhanced Siri will stand out from ChatGPT:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The properties of something like OpenAI advanced voice mode and Siri are quite different. That OpenAI mode is great if you want to go ask a question about quantum mechanics and have it write a poem for you about it… It\u2019s not going to open your garage. It\u2019s not going to help you send a text message. There are many, many useful things Siri does for you every day, does them quickly and locally on your device. There\u2019s a spectrum here, there\u2019s a tradeoff across capabilities. Will these worlds converge? Of course, that\u2019s where the direction is going.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n
