If Apple follows suit, OpenAI or Anthropic could lock in another blue-chip customer, pushing both further ahead in the AI arms race. More importantly, Siri’s long-awaited glow-up might actually deliver this time.

Apple's foray into AI has not been going so well, especially where Siri is concerned. The company has struggled to get the promised "LLM Siri" upgrades off the ground, which has led to significant delays in its release. Now, it sounds like the company may be considering taking drastic steps to get Siri back on track.

Apple software chief Craig Federighi announced that the company will allow third-party developers to use its core AI model. This will help them create apps that focus on privacy. Apple will also provide code completion options from both its own tools and OpenAI's in its main developer software.
