Apple is reportedly testing Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI models to replace Siri’s core AI, as executives weigh a shift away from in-house technology.

For months, Apple has been working to get its AI-enhanced Siri back on track after delaying the overhauled assistant’s launch in March. Apple later appointed Vision Pro head Mike Rockwell as the leader of AI and Siri after CEO Tim Cook “lost confidence” in the team’s former chief, John Giannandrea.

Apple Inc. is reportedly considering using artificial intelligence technology from OpenAI or Anthropic PBC to power its digital assistant Siri, as the company, once at the bleeding edge of technology and design, falls far behind rivals in developing cutting-edge AI models.
