Basically, what this means is that you could have Claude or Gemini or Grok or really any other AI model running your Siri for you, as long as the developer builds integration.

So you'd essentially be choosing your AI assistant the same way you choose your default browser on iPhones.

I think this is super cool.

It's interesting, you know, Apple never went down the route of building their own AI model.

I think they just decided maybe it was too hard.

They didn't have the talent.

They didn't want to, you know, designate the money there.

And instead, they're just relying on other people and they're just kind of building themselves as a shell around some of these other AI companies.

A couple different reasons why I think this is happening.

One, Siri's been losing ground compared to what, you know, Claude and ChatGPT can do.

And I think they know that.

And number two, I think that by opening it up, they are essentially reducing their dependence on a single partner, right?

They don't have to bet everything on OpenAI.

They let the market compete and Apple just provides the platform.

And I also think that right now, everyone's basically, a lot of people are paying for their own AI subscription.

I would be, I think it'd be a smart move if, you know, instead of having to pay for a huge licensing deal with ChatGPT, whether that goes one way or another,

They basically say, look, we'll let people pick their own platform.

If you have a pro subscription to OpenAI, maybe you grab your own API key or there's an integration with ChatGPT.

So premium subscribers are going to get premium Siri.

Anyways, it's an interesting thought.
