Apple is considering partnering with OpenAI or Anthropic to improve Siri's capabilities using a third-party large language model.
Apple has found that Anthropic's AI models may be the best fit for Siri and is discussing financial terms with the company.
Apple's work on a large language model version of Siri is separate from personalized Siri features coming in iOS 26 and is planned for iOS 27 in fall 2026.
Partnering with Anthropic or OpenAI would allow Apple to enhance Siri's capabilities while working on its own AI models.
