According to recent reports, Apple is currently evaluating the integration of AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to enhance its next-generation Siri assistant, shifting away from reliance on in-house developed technology.

The smartphone manufacturer continues to work internally on a project codenamed "LLM Siri," which utilizes proprietary artificial intelligence models. However, sources indicate that Apple has requested both OpenAI and Anthropic to develop AI model versions compatible with Apple's cloud infrastructure for testing purposes.

Apple has reportedly postponed the release of its AI-powered Siri from the initially planned 2025 launch to 2026 or later due to multiple technical challenges encountered during development. This delay aligns with Apple's historical trend of trailing behind Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic in the broader AI innovation race over recent years.

While Siri can already leverage ChatGPT capabilities for complex queries, current developments suggest Apple is exploring deeper technical integration with third-party AI providers to further strengthen its voice assistant capabilities.
