Apple trained its models in-house but refined them with distilled Google Gemini outputs, which is why Siri hallucinates, makes lousy tool calls, and once invented 12 million views for an Instagram upload. Apple's full 102,000-character Siri system prompt, pulled from the Apple Intelligence Report in Settings, shows why Siri refuses links, why "Call Mom" needs a round trip to Cupertino, and why Siri fails offline in airplane mode. Best Siri setup tips cover the Spotlight semantic index, App Intents, Apple Mail, App Access, your contact card, My Information, HomeKit names, on-screen awareness, and camera visual intelligence. When Siri fails, rephrase instead of repeat, break requests into short commands, and use iOS 27 Shortcuts with On-Device, Cloud, and Cloud Pro actions to build what Siri can't do, compared against ChatGPT, GPT-OSS-20, and Claude Fable. 0:00 I used the new Siri all summer 1:06 LLMs 101, and how a 20B model fits in an iPhone 4:47 Apple’s AI is merely Gemini DERIVED 5:46 Siri AI definitely hallucinates 7:50 Setup: App Intents, Mail, your contact card 13:17 Dissecting Apple's 102,000-character Siri system prompt 15:56 How to actually talk to it; and what to do when it fails 21:05 Shortcuts builds what Siri can’t
