Apple may be preparing Gemini integration in Apple Intelligence.

Apple has introduced code referencing “Google” as a third-party model choice for Apple Intelligence to leverage, according to a backend change spotted by Aaron Perris, who often shares info gleaned from Apple firmware code, following the release of the first iOS 18.4 beta last week.

Apple executive Craig Federighi specifically named Gemini when he suggested last year that Apple Intelligence could leverage more third-party AI models than just ChatGPT, as 9to5Mac notes.
