Apple is planning a major AI overhaul of Siri that will make the digital assistant more like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini Live, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The assistant, reportedly called “LLM Siri,” will be powered by Apple’s AI models and will let users have more conversational, natural-sounding interactions with Siri.

As part of Apple’s plan to infuse its iPhones with AI, Bloomberg says the company will make Siri better at handling more advanced tasks. The assistant will have an “expanded” ability to use App Intents to interact with third-party apps, while also using Apple Intelligence to summarize and write text, too.

Though Apple could announce these plans as soon as next year, the company intends to replace Siri’s underlying software with the new system in the spring of 2026, according to Bloomberg. During an interview with The Wall Street Journal last month, Apple senior vice president of software Craig Federighi hinted at how an AI-enhanced Siri will stand out from ChatGPT:

The properties of something like OpenAI advanced voice mode and Siri are quite different. That OpenAI mode is great if you want to go ask a question about quantum mechanics and have it write a poem for you about it… It’s not going to open your garage. It’s not going to help you send a text message. There are many, many useful things Siri does for you every day, does them quickly and locally on your device. There’s a spectrum here, there’s a tradeoff across capabilities. Will these worlds converge? Of course, that’s where the direction is going.
