Apple's rebuilt Siri runs on Google's Gemini, adds multi-step requests and screen context

The new Siri AI runs partly on device and partly through Private Cloud Compute, according to the source. Early testers highlight multi-step requests and screen context as improvements over the previous option. However, they also report hallucinations and gaps with personal context. For EU users, the assistant is not available yet.
