Apple reportedly plans to power Siri With Google Gemini on Nvidia's Blackwell B200 GPUs

In a recent report, Apple may be partnering with Nvidia to use its powerful Blackwell Superchips, which power Google Cloud, to give Siri a major overhaul, finally delivering a worthy upgrade that Apple’s long-time assistant deserves.

According to a report by The Information, some iPhone users' queries to the new Siri will be routed through Google Cloud and executed on a licensed version of Google’s Gemini model, using Nvidia’s Blackwell B200 data center GPUs. Apple has reportedly approved Nvidia’s computing technology, which encrypts data while it is actively being processed on those chips.

This three-way setup is part of Apple’s broader agreement with Google to deliver a more capable Siri with new features and accessibility options, currently scheduled to launch in September.

Encrypted data to be handled by Google, processed by Nvidia

The Information stated that Apple “will tap into Google’s fleet of Nvidia Blackwell B200 data center chips and will enable Nvidia’s confidential computing feature, which encrypts data as it is being processed by the chips.”

Data encryption is a priority for Nvidia, as it will “preserve the confidentiality and integrity of AI models on Rubin, Blackwell, and Hopper GPUs” to allow “sensitive AI workloads to run securely at scale with near-native performance, even in shared or cloud environments.”

Nvidia’s flagship GPU family is Blackwell, designed for large-scale AI training even as it gears up for a next-generation Vera Rubin launch. The Blackwell B200 succeeded the Hopper architecture, delivering significant gains in inference performance, speed, and memory bandwidth, and enabling the linking of numerous GPUs.

This setup would allow Gemini’s more demanding models to run seamlessly via Siri, handling complex tasks on your iPhone with features such as multi-step reasoning, deeper app integration, and a stronger understanding of context.  Apple’s focus seems centered on privacy: confidential computing creates a hardware-secure environment that encrypts both data and the model itself during processing. 

Therefore, even though search queries and prompts pass through Google’s infrastructure and Nvidia hardware, the data will remain protected from both companies, maintaining Apple’s long-term commitment to privacy on iOS.
