Apple Siri to Integrate Google Gemini AI Models [Model Behavior]

/ 05:09/E936
This episode covers Apple's upcoming Siri overhaul featuring Google Gemini, the retirement of OpenAI's GPT-4o model, and the emergence of distillation attacks by DeepSeek. We examine the geopolitical implications of the EU AI Grid launch and India's new 1.1 billion dollar deep-tech fund. The discussion also addresses internal friction at OpenAI regarding advertisement integration and the Pentagon's growing tension with Anthropic over military application restrictions. Finally, we look at the restructuring of xAI following its merger with SpaceX and the White House's opposition to Utah's AI transparency legislation.

Apple is set to unveil a substantially enhanced version of Siri in late February 2026, marking the first public demonstration of its multi-year partnership with Google. This shift toward Gemini AI models represents a pivot from Apple's internal development strategy. Meanwhile, OpenAI has officially retired the GPT-4o model following a 99.9 percent migration to GPT-5.2 and ongoing legal challenges. The industry also faces new security risks as Google and OpenAI warn of distillation attacks by DeepSeek to replicate reasoning capabilities at a fraction of the cost. From the launch of the sovereign EU AI Grid in Lithuania to the White House's intervention in Utah's legislative process, the landscape of AI governance and infrastructure is rapidly evolving.
