Apple launches third-gen Foundation Models to fuse on-device intelligence with private cloud

Apple unveils the third generation of its Foundation Models (AFM 3), spanning on-device (AFM 3 Core and AFM 3 Core Advanced) and server-based options (AFM 3 Cloud, ADM 3 Cloud, AFM 3 Cloud Pro), all designed with privacy at the core and deeply integrated into Apple operating systems. A key advance is AFM 3 Core Advanced’s sparsely activated architecture (IFP), which runs most weights from flash and loads small expert subsets into DRAM to deliver multimodal capabilities on Apple silicon. Server models leverage Private Cloud Compute (with NVIDIA GPUs for Cloud Pro) to boost speed, reasoning, and image generation. Apple emphasizes responsible AI, extensive evaluations showing strong gains over prior generations, and states that user data is not used for training. A technical report with more details is planned for later this summer.

Apple’s AFM AI Stack Is In-House, No Gemini Involvement

Apple unveiled its third-gen Apple Foundation Models (AFM), with on-device cores and cloud services built on Apple Silicon; Apple says none of Google's Gemini components or infrastructure are used, and the suite includes AFM Cloud Pro for advanced tool use, running Nvidia GPUs in Google's cloud under a privacy-focused System Orchestrator that can be independently verified.

Apple's Siri to Run in Google's Gemini Cloud on Nvidia Blackwell Chips

Apple plans a redesigned Siri launching in September that will largely rely on Google's Gemini cloud AI, accelerated by Nvidia's Blackwell data-center chips (B200) with hardware-level confidential compute to encrypt data. Apple will highlight on-device AI at WWDC, but it's unclear how its Private Cloud Compute will fit into the Siri rollout after a prior attempt to run Gemini on PCC proved slow.

Apple Seeks Google Cloud to Run Siri’s Next-Gen AI in the Cloud

Apple reportedly asked Google to run a future Gemini-powered Siri on Google's data centers, aiming to scale cloud capacity as its Private Cloud Compute stays largely idle and Siri’s next-generation AI looms; this follows years of reluctance to use Google Cloud, which reportedly changed security practices to address Apple’s privacy concerns.

Apple Intelligence Prioritizes Privacy Over Competitors

Apple prioritizes user privacy in its AI features by utilizing on-device models that keep data local, supported by private cloud compute for heavier requests, and maintains strict data handling policies with partnerships like OpenAI to ensure user data isn't retained or used for training, setting it apart from competitors.
