Of course Apple wants to bring Google's Gemini AI to iPhones |

Apple is reportedly in talks with Google to integrate its Gemini AI in iPhones Bloomberg reports a move that should help both companies compete with OpenAI and its heavily invested partner Microsoft While it might seem like an admission that Apple is lagging behind on AI the partnership fits if you think of generative AI models as an evolution of web searching something Google already provides to all of Apple s devices According to the report Gemini could be the cloud based generative AI engine for Siri and other iPhone apps while Apple s models could be woven into the upcoming iOS for on device AI tasks Bloomberg notes that Apple has also had discussions with OpenAI about using its own models and it could still end up partnering with another AI outfit like Anthropic Apple could conceivably even work with multiple partners until its own generative models are up to snuff But teaming up with Google makes the most sense especially since the search giant is already giving Apple millions to bring search to the Safari browser Apple needs some sort of generative AI solution that it can implement this year its own Ajax model will likely take years to match Gemini and OpenAI and Google needs a quick way to bring its AI smarts to billions of devices nbsp There are regulatory concerns to consider ーthe Department of Justice has already sued Google over its search dominance including the way it pays Apple and other companies to use its search engine But given the specter of Microsoft and OpenAI s partnership ーwhich turned the Bing search engine into an artificial intelligence hype machine overnight and is now powering all of Microsoft s Copilot AI solutions ーthe potential gains could be worth the risk for Apple and Google There are still technical issues for Google to deal with too Gemini was recently under fire for inaccurately rendering historical images But even considering potential growing pains a partnership with Apple helps both companies And it also gives Apple room to develop its own models while OpenAI and Google deal with the growing pains of generative AI This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Sony may have paused PS VR2 production to clear a backlog of unsold units |

The PlayStation VR doesn t seem to have been a major hit for Sony Just over a year after the headset debuted the company has paused production until it deals with a stockpile of unsold inventory according to Bloomberg The company is said to have manufactured well more than million units According to analysts at IDC the company sold around million headsets in Perhaps most concerningly for Sony sales appeared to have slowed significantly throughout the year Hardware sales often pick up ahead of the holidays but the fourth quarter was the most sluggish sales period yet for PS VR per IDC ーthe firm says Sony sold just units during those three months A dearth of compelling games or at least the perception that s the case hasn t helped make the PS VR attractive to prospective buyers Overall Sony has only released four VR experiences for the headset and is yet to announce any other first party games for the platform It also recently shuttered its London Studio one of its few in house developers that had been making VR games The lack of backward compatibility for games from the original PS VR headset may have harmed the current model s prospects too In our review senior editor Devindra Hardawar gave the PS VR a score of feeling that while it was a great headset overall the high price and doubts over long term support were significant concerns Additionally the headset only works with a PS but that could be about to change Sony recently revealed that it was testing official PC support for the PS VR and it hopes to roll that out later this year That could potentially give the company a much larger customer base for those who are interested in the hardware but don t want a PS As such that might help it sell some of its stockpile Another thing that would help is reducing the price At the PS VR costs more than a PS which is absurd This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
