Have always advised companies that build on, integrate with, market thru or otherwise materially rely on a “platform” need to mitigate risk & diversify to avoid too many eggs in one basket. Platform co’s will compete if market opportunities or pressure require it. That’s biz.

This is a fairly strategic move that can be quite consequential to both parties, but also should come as no surprise. Despite many seeing them as rivals, @Google and @Apple have been long-time partners - especially in mobile.

[News from Google @NewsFromGoogle]

Joint Statement: Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.

After careful evaluation, Apple determined that Google's Al technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models and is excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for Apple users. Apple Intelligence will continue to run on Apple devices and Private Cloud Compute, while maintaining Apple's industry-leading privacy standards.

The Great Compression: 2025 Year in Review

This year wasn't defined by a single crisis. It was defined by sustained pressure from multiple directions.

This would be a good thing. The froth needs to dissipate. The hype needs to calm so there can be a next phase with focus on purposeful applications that introduce real innovation in areas of need or material opportunity. #ai
