Apple's WWDC starts on Monday. This year it promises to be particularly interesting.

The secret will be revealed of how Apple has finally integrated a proper AI model deep into its operating system.

As is known, it's a Gemini version, developed specifically for Apple, with 1.2t parameters, although a much smaller model runs locally. For complex queries, however, the larger model is accessed on Apple's own servers.

The exciting question remains: how good is Apple's Gemini really, and how deeply is it integrated into the OS? Will there be a voice mode to talk to Siri? Will iOS be controlled by voice? I'm looking forward to Monday.

Tomorrow could be Apple’s most important AI moment yet.

WWDC 2026 is expected to be all about one thing: making Siri relevant again.

If the leaks are right, Apple is rebuilding Siri around a custom Google Gemini model, reportedly around 1.2 trillion parameters.

For context: Apple’s own on-device AI model is roughly 3B parameters.

The biggest rumor: Apple’s new Siri will reportedly be powered in the background by Google Gemini.

Not as a Google-branded chatbot, but as an Apple-controlled intelligence layer running behind Siri, likely tied to Apple’s privacy-first infrastructure.

So the new Siri likely becomes a hybrid system:

• small Apple model locally on your device • large Gemini-class model in the cloud • Siri as the orchestration layer • Apple controlling the UI, app access and privacy layer

What to further expect:

• a much more conversational Siri • deeper personal context across apps, messages, files, calendar, photos and contacts • screen awareness • actions inside apps • a dedicated Siri app with chat history • voice chat, file uploads and multimodal interaction • better integration with Dynamic Island • optional support for other AI services like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini

Apple wants to turn Siri into the private AI layer of the operating system.

A system agent that can search, understand, write, edit, summarize, organize and act across your iPhone, Mac and iPad.

We may also see new Apple Intelligence features for:

• AI photo editing • smarter Camera / Visual Intelligence • improved Writing Tools • natural-language Shortcuts • better Wallet and Health integrations • more privacy controls around AI data

Either way, WWDC 2026 could define Apple’s position in the AI race.

Exciting how the new CEO will handle all of this.

@kimmonismus wild guess, apple acquires raycast!

@kimmonismus last time apple tried to make siri relevant it just told me to search the web

hope gemini does better than that streak

@kimmonismus 1.2 trillion parameters for Siri is wild

hope it remembers my reminders this time lol

@arag_agrawal @kimmonismus No, it will be the Google AI show in an Apple wrapper

@kimmonismus This will set the bar for apple AI integration. With the new Mac releasing later this year and supposedly the biggest upgrade to come to Mac and the iPhone 18 (looks identical to the 17 pro) but hopefully will showcase deeper AI integration.

Or might just be classic apple fud🥲

@kimmonismus Do we think this year is going to be worth watching? Last year was just a waste of time.

@kimmonismus vendor lock-in disguiised as innovation again. is anyone actually asking for this shit

@kimmonismus One of the biggest questions may not be how good the model is, but how invisible the experience becomes.

Capabilities keep improving. The real differentiator may be how seamlessly intelligence is integrated into the workflows people already use every day.

@kimmonismus A Gemini model buried deep in the OS is not just a feature. I want to know which rooms of the house it can enter.

@kimmonismus wait they're running gemini on their own servers? wild if true. also what a missed opportunity for them

Michael DeMille@MichaelDeMille

@kimmonismus In my experience Gemini makes for a decent chat bot, but isn't that great of an agent. So I would guess the experience is going to depend a lot on what use cases they try to implement into their system with the Gemini model as the backbone to it all.

@PawelJLisowski True that. It directly competes with google and its android / Gemini os integration. Let’s see

@kimmonismus Typical, Apple finally chasing the AI narrative way too late.

@kimmonismus The tech is ready compared to before.. hopefully they give it a good go!

@kimmonismus 1.2T参数放端侧太夸张了，这个架构其实是合理的——本地跑蒸馏过的轻量版保护隐私，复杂任务上云。问题是苹果的隐私闭环和Gemini的云端调用怎么兼容，这个矛盾不解决隐私牌就打不动。Siri憋了这么多年，这次再不翻盘真说不过去了。
