Apple's iOS 27 Embeds Private Frameworks Enabling Third‑Party AI to Replace Siri

Hidden code in iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate reveals Apple’s new Siri framework that lets third‑party models like Claude and GPT‑5.6 Terra replace Apple’s own server‑side AI.

Apple’s upcoming iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate releases contain hidden private frameworks that redefine Siri’s architecture, allowing external AI models to assume functions traditionally handled by Apple’s own server‑side Siri model.

Researcher identified as pdfu reverse‑engineered these frameworks and posted videos on X showing two distinct mechanisms that integrate third‑party models—Anthropic’s Claude and a GPT‑5.6 Terra implementation—into Siri’s workflow.
