Ki-Leak: Apple supposedly wants to have an answer to everything in 2026

How well will the new AI-based Siri? Apple has so far been guilty of the answer to this question, despite the announcement that has already passed into 2024. For the longer waiting, users should not only be compensated in the spring of 2026 with an answer, but many.

World Knowledge Answers-Under this generic term, Apple allegedly develops a AI-based web search function, reports Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman Reference to unnamed sources in the company. This world knowledge is said to be fed by the network and own AI functions, but could also be partly the result of a new cooperation with Google. In addition to Siri, integration in the Safari web browser and the Spotlight system search function is also under discussion. Users can then ask and get them summarized by the AI. The whole thing works with text, photos, videos and local information, it is said.

Codename “Linwood”

The “Answer Engine” was supposedly not originally planned to the extent. Apple has expanded its plans. The entire Siri revision runs internally under the code names “Linwood” and “LLM Siri”.

Google should probably be in the focus of Apple due to better conditions. For a long time, it was speculated that the iPhone manufacturer could look for the end of the shoulder, whose large Language Model Claude recently arrived in a beta of Apple’s development environment Xcode 26. But Anthropic had lost his favorite status because it wanted to know too much money from Apple at $ 1.5 billion annually. Gurman.

Perplexity purchase from the table

It is also interesting for the new rumors that they are now portraying Apple as future competitors of Openaai and Perplexity. Apple maintains close cooperation with Openaai: If Siri does not continue to white, she can pass on inquiries to Chatgpt. And also OpenAi will continue to help with the new operating system versions in autumn. With a view to perplexity, there was even a long time of a possible takeover by Apple. Google would of course have to accept the cooperation that Apple also competes with its AI overviews.

Apple’s efforts to get better in the AI ​​business should have a signal effect internally and externally. Externally, it is the criticism of users and reviewers that Apple lag behind the AI ​​trend, which causes unrest and, in the worst case, could also unsettle investors. Internally, the reports of exits from Apple’s AI department are increasing. Here the salaries paid should undoubtedly play a major role. Nevertheless, competitors currently promise more reputation and work on projects that are much further than Apple.
