Apple is not using Gemini to "power" Siri, no matter how many times it is asserted.
Will it be available as a tool for Siri to throw some tasks to? Sure. But Siri is still powered by Apple Intelligence, and soon, app intents will feed data into that mix.
The LLM backend of Siri will be Apple based

Nike's "Project Amplify" is like an e-bike for your feet.
The shoes have a piston connected to a band that goes around your calves, gives you, in effect, a second set of calf muscles so you can walk/run faster.
To what end? Not sure. But seems pretty cool.

And none of the failures blame AWS, they just put up an error message. Or the interface gets a little screwy.

Had to unplug my HomePod mini last night.
It was hearing voices, would play podcasts, music, every few minutes. As if responding to unheard commands.
Only happened when the TV was on in the same room.
Applied latest update, rebooted it, nothing helped.
