US EditionGoogle, Apple enter into multi-year AI deal for Gemini models
Apple will rely on Google’s Gemini AI models to enhance Siri and Apple Intelligence, aiming for improved personalization and privacy in a multi-year deal valued at about $1 billion annually.
- On Jan 12, 2026, Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc. confirmed a multi-year deal making Google's Gemini AI models the foundation for Apple Foundation Models powering Apple Intelligence and Siri.
- Following months of internal development, Apple and Google wrote, 'After careful evaluation, we determined that Google's technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models,' reports indicate.
- Reports say Gemini will run on Apple Private Cloud Compute to keep user data separate from Google's infrastructure; terms weren't disclosed, and the deal is non-exclusive with reported $1 billion per year.
- The news of the deal helped push Alphabet Inc. above $4 trillion during trading on Jan 12, 2026, while the partnership expands Google's reach to more than two billion devices.
- The timing comes amid regulatory scrutiny over default agreements, while Apple Inc. says revamped Siri and other Apple Intelligence features will launch later this year.
