What Thomas Kurian said

- Cloud services: Apple chose Google Cloud as its preferred cloud solutions provider for developing the next generation of Apple Foundation models that use Gemini.
- Future features: These models will form the foundation for “Apple Intelligence,” including a more personalized Siri that will appear later this year.
