Apple Considers Replacing Siri with Anthropic’s Claude or OpenAI‘s ChatGPT: A Potential AI Shakeup
Cupertino, CA – July 1, 2025 – In a dramatic potential shift, Apple is reportedly exploring replacing Siri’s core AI capabilities with technology from leading AI developers Anthropic or OpenAI.This move signals a possible acknowledgement of struggles to compete in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape, according to a new report from Bloomberg.
For years, Apple has prioritized in-house development, utilizing its own Apple Foundation Models to power its Apple Intelligence features. Though, the company now appears willing to look beyond its internal resources to bolster Siri’s AI functionality. Discussions have reportedly taken place with both Anthropic and OpenAI regarding training their large language models (llms) for deployment on Apple’s cloud infrastructure.
While no final decision has been made, and Apple continues to develop a Siri version powered by its own models, the consideration of external AI represents a significant change in strategy. A revamped, AI-enhanced Siri is currently slated for release in 2026, following delays to features initially planned for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15.
Apple already leverages OpenAI technology for specific Siri functions, such as answering search queries and generating content, but these features are currently optional extensions controlled by Apple. Integrating a full model from Anthropic or OpenAI would represent a far more substantial commitment, possibly bringing Apple’s AI capabilities on par with competitors like Samsung, which utilizes Google’s Gemini AI across its Galaxy devices.
This potential pivot comes after Apple touted the iPhone 16 as “built for Apple Intelligence,” but has as faced internal challenges. Leadership of siri has recently shifted from AI head John Giannandrea to software engineering lead Craig Federighi and Siri boss Mike Rockwell, the executive behind the Vision Pro.
The possibility of outsourcing core AI functions is reportedly impacting morale within Apple’s AI team, notably as other tech companies aggressively recruit AI talent with lucrative offers.
