After failing to release its AI-powered Siri last year, Apple needs to do some major surgery on its voice assistant ASAP.

Apple Inc. is considering using artificial intelligence technology from Anthropic PBC or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri, sidelining its own in-house models in a potentially blockbuster move aimed at turning around its flailing AI effort.

Apple is in talks with Anthropic and OpenAI to potentially upgrade Siri using their AI models, moving away from its own technology. Initial tests favored Anthropic's AI, but financial disagreements could shift Apple's focus to OpenAI or alternative partners for this initiative.
