Apple is talking to OpenAI and Anthropic about possibly using their tech to rebuild Siri. According to reports, the idea is to run either ChatGPT or Claude on Apple’s own servers, which would let them improve Siri without sending user data outside its ecosystem.
Siri’s been falling behind for years. Compared to newer tools like ChatGPT, it often feels old-fashioned or outdated. Apple tried to fix that with its “Apple Intelligence” launch last year, but things didn’t go as planned. The updates missed key deadlines, some features didn’t work as promised, and the big Siri refresh ended up being delayed—likely into 2026.
Now, instead of continuing to build everything from scratch, Apple might just use existing AI models that already work well. It would still be private—everything would run on Apple’s own cloud—but it wouldn’t be “pure Apple” tech underneath.
This is a pretty big shift for a company that usually insists on doing everything in-house. But with Siri’s long list of issues, using outside help might be the faster and safer way forward.
Nothing’s been finalized yet. Apple is still working on its own AI-powered version of Siri behind the scenes, but it’s clear they’re exploring all options. If they do move ahead with OpenAI or Anthropic, we probably won’t see anything new until late 2026.
