Apple is said to pay Google about $1 billion a year for Gemini

A post argues that Apple is paying Google about $1 billion a year for Gemini, even though it could use alternative models such as GLM 5.2 and, soon, Kimi K3.
- The claim is framed as an interesting comparison of model quality and vendor dependence.
- No detailed evidence is provided in the post itself, so it reads as a pointed industry take rather than a confirmed announcement.
