What I don't get is why not Anthropic? It's a great model for what kind of person uses a Mac, and this would give their customer's data to what is effectively their most viable competitor. What gives?

> Apple is still several weeks away from making a decision on whether to continue using internal models for Siri or move to a partner. And it hasn’t yet determined who that partner may be. ...

> Executives had long viewed Anthropic as the leading candidate for a partnership, but *the financial terms demanded by that company led Apple to broaden the search and bring others into the mix*. Apple certainly hasn’t ruled out sticking to its own models either.

> Internally, Apple is holding a bake-off to see which approach will work best. The company is simultaneously developing two versions of the new Siri: one dubbed Linwood that is powered by its models and another code-named Glenwood that runs on outside technology.

Apple already does business with Alphabet (Google search, and Cloud Storage, for example).

Apple doesn't compete with Google in model training. If they did then they wouldn't be in-talks like this right now.
