Apple just confirmed what many in tech suspected—Google's AI technology offers the strongest foundation for building their own foundation models. This decision reflects how critical robust AI infrastructure has become for major tech players. The move underscores the competitive landscape around AI capabilities, where companies are racing to develop or partner for the most capable underlying systems. For the broader tech and crypto ecosystems watching AI's evolution, this partnership between two Silicon Valley giants signals where the industry believes the best AI foundations currently lie. It's a reminder that foundation models aren't just theoretical—they're now central to real-world product strategies at the highest levels.

Apple chooses Google over itself, now that's awkward, haha --- Is the foundation model really that popular? Feels more like hype --- Two giants teaming up, how can retail investors survive --- Wait, Apple using Google's AI? I thought they were self-sufficient before --- What does this mean? In-house AI can't compare? The industry is about to reshuffle --- I just want to know what impact this has on the crypto world, can someone explain --- Wow, foundation models are really becoming hot commodities, they must be raising crazy funding --- Both partnership and infrastructure, sounds very expensive --- The collaboration is real, but whose AI is the strongest will depend on future performance --- Google is making a killing with this, no need to sell products themselves

Apple chooses Google, now the AI arms race among big tech companies is getting more intense Google AI is so impressive, no wonder everyone wants it The funny thing is, these big companies have been messing around for a while, but in the end, they still have to rely on each other Foundation models are really hot commodities; if there's no other choice, you have to use the big tech companies' models The Web3 community finds this show quite interesting... big fish eat small fish, nothing new Cooperation or competition, basically it's just each side doing what they need Is it true that Apple is also starting to rely on Google? This trend is quite interesting Compromise or strategy, anyway, free is always the most expensive

Does Apple use Google AI? Looks like the big players also have to bow down; having lots of money isn't enough.

Google AI has truly outdone itself this time; even Apple has to bow down.

Apple chooses Google as the AI foundation, it seems big companies all have to bow down --- Damn, Google really has mastered the game of AI --- In the foundation model sector, Google is indeed ahead, Apple also has to admit defeat --- Are the two giants teaming up out of surrender or mutual benefit? --- In the AI infrastructure positioning battle, Google must be winning big

ngl apple going full-in on google's ai stack feels like watching liquidity migrate to a single bridge... massive TVL concentration risk right there. what happens when the counter-party relationship breaks? asking for a friend who watched multiple bridge exploits unfold lmao

NGL, choosing Google over Apple is basically saying "we also need you," which is a bit desperate.
