Apple has been granted full access to Google's Gemini model, which allows the iPhone maker to do more with the AI model used on Android smartphones, according to a report. The Cupertino company will be able to use the Gemini AI model for distillation in its own data centres, which means it can create smaller models that can be used for specific purposes. These models could be more efficient, would run on a user's device, and would not require access to the internet.
