Apple Taps Google and Nvidia to Power Its Cloud AI Model
Apple's new Foundation Model Cloud Pro runs on Nvidia GPUs and rivals Google's own Gemini frontier models.
Apple just pulled back the curtain on a surprising alliance. The company revealed Apple Foundation Model Cloud Pro at its annual WWDC keynote in Cupertino — and it's got some familiar names under the hood.
Google and Nvidia are both lending a hand. The cloud-based AI model runs on Nvidia GPUs, and Apple claims its performance is comparable to Google's Gemini frontier models. That's a bold benchmark to set against your own partner's tech.
The announcement came alongside Siri AI demos, signaling Apple is going all-in on making its assistant actually useful. Rather than building every piece of the AI stack solo, Apple is leaning on proven infrastructure from two of the biggest names in the game.
It's a pragmatic play. Apple gets frontier-class AI muscle without reinventing the silicon and model architecture from scratch.
