Apple is preparing to introduce a new feature, internally codenamed "Extensions," in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. This update will enable users to choose from multiple third-party large language models to power Apple Intelligence features like Siri and Writing Tools. Reports indicate that models from Google and Anthropic are currently undergoing testing.
