Apple’s next-generation Siri is still a ways off, but this week the company announced it will use Google’s Gemini AI for its new Foundation model. In this episode, Devindra and Engadget’s Igor Bonifacic discuss why Apple teamed up with Google again instead of OpenAI or Anthropic. Additionally, they also talk about Meta’s Reality Lab layoffs, which is causing the company to refocus on AI hardware like its smart glasses.
