Apple Is Reportedly Building a More Conversational Siri Powered By LLMs 1
According to Bloomberg (paywalled), Apple is developing a new version of Siri powered by large language models (LLMs). TechCrunch reports: The new assistant reportedly will fully replace the Siri interface that users rely on today, and Apple is planning to release the feature in the spring of 2026. The feature seems like it will be similar to OpenAI's Advanced Voice Mode but with all the same access to personal information and apps that Siri has today. Until then, Apple is relying on third parties to power the iPhone's advanced AI features.
Siri started it all (Score:2)
But then Apple let it slowly rot, until it became almost useless. It's good that they are updating it, even if a little late to the party. Copilot, Gemini, and ChatGPT each already have AI voice assistants that are quite good. Alexa, on the other hand, just wants to sell you stuff.
