Apple to Power Siri with Google Gemini on Nvidia Blackwell B200 GPUs

Lena Fischer 2 min read

Apple reportedly plans to power Siri with Google Gemini on Nvidia Blackwell B200 GPUs, launching in September 2025 for faster AI responses.

Apple is reportedly overhauling Siri with a major infrastructure change. Instead of relying solely on its own servers, the company plans to tap into Google's fleet of Blackwell B200 GPUs. The move aims to bring faster, more capable AI responses to iPhone users.

New Siri to launch in September 2025

The new Siri is scheduled to launch in September 2025. It will handle some user queries through Google Cloud, processed on Nvidia's latest data center chips. Apple has reportedly approved Nvidia's computing technology for this purpose, according to The Information.

Nvidia's Blackwell B200 delivers significant gains in inference performance, speed, and memory bandwidth. The chip also supports confidential computing, which encrypts data while it is being processed. This feature helps protect user privacy during cloud-based queries.

Apple aims for multi-step reasoning and deeper app integration

Apple aims to improve Siri with multi-step reasoning, deeper app integration, and better context understanding. These enhancements could make the assistant more useful for complex tasks. The exact capabilities remain unconfirmed, but the shift to external hardware suggests a major upgrade.

The partnership involves both Google and Nvidia. Apple will use Google's infrastructure to access Nvidia GPUs, marking a rare collaboration between the three companies. The Information first reported the plan, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Apple has not officially commented on the rumored changes. The Information's report is the sole source for these claims. Until Apple confirms the plan, details remain unconfirmed.

If the report holds, Siri's September 2025 launch will bring a fundamentally different backend. Users may notice faster responses and new capabilities, but the full impact depends on how Apple integrates the new hardware and software.
