Apple AI is done? Considering using a trap skin for ChatGPT or Claude to upgrade Siri and save the lagging self-research progress.

Bloomberg reported that Apple is considering upgrading Siri by adopting OpenAI or Anthropic technology, hoping to catch up in the AI application race. (Background: Meta is aggressively recruiting AI talent, with Zuckerberg calling for "salaries over $100 million"; Sam Altman sarcastically commented: can't buy the best employees) (Background information: OpenAI is rumored to launch an AI version of Office software, going head-to-head with Microsoft and Google) Apple, which appears to be lagging behind in the AI race (Apple), was disclosed by Bloomberg yesterday that the company has already approached OpenAI and Anthropic regarding the training of customized large language models, with the condition of not relying on cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, to support the new Siri voice assistant. If this move materializes, Apple may no longer insist on fully relying on its own AI models but instead seek external cooperation to accelerate the rollout of AI features. However, the relevant assessments are still in the early stages, and Apple has another condition of not relying on cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, and must support server architectures based on Apple Silicon, with no final decision made yet. The R&D progress of AI is not meeting expectations, affecting iPhone upgrade momentum. However, Apple's actions are not entirely unexpected; after all, in June 2023, when Apple launched the Apple Intelligence feature, the market was once optimistic that it would boost iPhone sales, but the actual AI feature rollout has been quite slow. Apple originally planned to launch a new version of Siri that integrates AI by 2025 but announced in March this year that it must be postponed to 2026, without specifying the reasons. At the global developer conference (WWDC) in June this year, although several new features were announced, the progress of AI R&D was only briefly mentioned. At that time, Apple software chief Craig Federighi stated, "New features for Siri need more time to meet Apple's high standards." However, the outside world generally believes that Apple's AI R&D has hit a bottleneck, and the gap with Google and other competitors is widening. Apple's stock price rose. Possibly inspired by this news, Apple's (AAPL) stock price rose by $2.65 or 1.29% on Tuesday, closing at $207.82, reaching a new high since May 19, and closing in the green for the third consecutive trading day, also performing best among the technology sector's seven giants yesterday. Market analysis suggests that after Apple’s stock price fell below $200 in early June, it has rebounded recently driven by AI themes, and the technical aspect has risen above the seasonal line, with short-term momentum expected to strengthen. Siri team executive adjustments. On the other hand, to accelerate AI R&D, Apple has adjusted its executive structure, with Mike Rockwell taking over the Siri team, replacing former AI head John Giannandrea. Overall, Apple's self-developed progress in the generative AI field is not as expected; if it actively seeks external technical cooperation to strengthen Siri, it is also a possible option. Currently, the company is adjusting its internal organization and development strategy, striving to narrow the gap with competitors, but securing a foothold in the rapidly changing AI software market is not an easy task.
