Summary
Apple will route some Gemini-powered Siri queries through Google Cloud using Nvidia Blackwell B200 data-center chips, according to a new report ahead of WWDC.
Nvidia’s confidential compute feature will be enabled on those chips, encrypting data while it is being processed to support Apple’s privacy assurances in a shared cloud environment.
The setup pairs Apple with a licensed version of Google’s Gemini model rather than relying solely on its own infrastructure for the upgraded Siri.
That marks a break from Apple’s usual strategy of tightly controlling core product technology, and it remains unclear how its Private Cloud Compute servers will fit into the Siri launch.
