AI Weekly, citing Apple, reports that Apple has opened the English public beta of its rebuilt Siri AI, the version built on models developed with Google and its Gemini family. Processing is split between the device itself and Apple's Private Cloud Compute. More languages are expected next month. The rollout is deliberately narrow: it excludes the EU on several platforms, remains on hold in China, and Apple applies daily limits to some server-backed features. That makes this less a clean global launch than a staged one. Worth watching is whether the daily caps loosen as Apple gains confidence, and how quickly the EU and China situations resolve — those two markets decide whether a Gemini-powered Siri is a genuinely worldwide product or a mostly American one.
