Apple Reportedly Plans to Send Siri Engineers to AI Coding Bootcamp
Apple is training fewer than 200 Siri engineers to use AI coding tools as it prepares a long-delayed assistant overhaul.
- On Wednesday, The Information reported Apple plans to send less than 200 Siri engineers to a multi-week bootcamp to sharpen AI coding skills ahead of WWDC26.
- Apple previously delayed its AI-driven Siri launch, admitting earlier versions lacked reliability, and reorganized AI divisions by placing the Siri team under Mike Rockwell alongside Craig Federighi.
- The bootcamp will leave around 60 members on the core Siri development team, while an additional 60 evaluate performance and safety standards as teams increasingly adopt AI coding tools like Claude Code.
- Apple's former AI chief John Giannandrea is leaving the company this week as the revamped Siri will rely on Google's Gemini models to enhance capabilities ahead of the June 8 conference.
- The move suggests Apple feels a portion of the Siri organization needs to "tune up its skills to take advantage of fast-moving changes in programming" as AI-driven assistants become critical.
