Code shows Apple's Siri AI can swap in Claude or ChatGPT amid EU pressure
TBT_TBT · reddit · 2026-09-15
Code evidence suggests Apple is well into building third-party model support for Siri AI, allowing Claude as a basis — either as an "Ask Claude" option or a full replacement for Apple's own model.
Context: Siri AI is still unavailable in Europe and China. Under the EU's Digital Markets Act, the European Commission requires equal access for competing model providers and rejected Apple's request for a gatekeeper-rule exception around WWDC. Apple appears to be adapting with a multi-provider architecture.
