Apple Taps Nvidia Blackwell B200 Chips for Siri via Google Cloud

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Jun 3

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.
