Apple Inc. is reportedly developing a more conversational Siri powered by advanced large language models (LLMs), to allow for back-and-forth conversations. This development is one of the many attempts the company is taking in the efforts to catch up in artificial intelligence (AI).
According to a source cited by Bloomberg, this new version to be released in 2026 is aimed at catching up with OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT and will be similar to OpenAI’s Advanced Voice Mode but with all the same access to personal information and apps that Siri currently has.
The enhanced version, tentatively called “LLM Siri,” will fully replace the Siri interface that users currently rely on and is expected to be better at handling complex tasks, interacting with third-party apps through App Intents, and performing functions like summarizing and writing text using Apple Intelligence.
At the moment, Apple is relying on third parties to power the iPhone’s advanced AI features. While ChatGPT will become available inside Apple Intelligence in December, Apple has reportedly discussed similar deals with other AI providers, like Google and Anthropic.
The tech giant also debuted its much-ballyhooed Apple Intelligence platform last month, though it still lacks many of the features offered by other tech companies.
