Apple's most advanced AI model, AFM 3 Cloud Pro (used for agentic tool use and complex reasoning), runs on Google-owned Nvidia hardware, while simpler models run on Apple's own servers.
To protect privacy on third-party hardware, Apple uses Nvidia's Confidential Computing, Intel's Trust Domain Extensions, and Google's Titan security chip, plus maintains a cryptographically verifiable ledger of all Google Cloud hardware in the fleet and only trusts software signed by Apple.
Most Apple Intelligence devices get AFM 3 Core, a Gemini-based model co-developed by Google and Apple; newer devices with at least 12GB of RAM use AFM 3 Core Advanced instead.
