Apple's WWDC 2026 is June 8-12 in Cupertino. Apple has reportedly signed a deal with Google to use Gemini for AI features per multiple sources. The flagship announcement expected is a redesigned Siri with full chatbot capabilities. The OpenAI-partnership question is covered by an existing M$1.87M market; this market is the complementary Gemini-side question. RESOLVES YES if, during the June 8-12 WWDC 2026 keynote or session, Apple officially announces that Siri (or any Apple AI feature) will be powered by — or use — Google's Gemini model. The announcement must be official from Apple, not from Google or rumor sources. RESOLVES NO if no Gemini integration is announced during the WWDC window. An OpenAI-only or Apple-internal-model announcement does NOT count as YES.
Update 2026-05-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): If Apple announces 'a new AI partnership powering Siri' without explicitly naming Gemini, this should resolve NO under a strict reading of the resolution criteria. The announcement must name Google's Gemini specifically.

Estimate 88% YES (oracle 92%, conf 0.7). Edge ~15pp at fill price.
Witnesses I read directly:
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian publicly confirmed Apr 22 2026 that Gemini-powered Siri is on track for 2026 (MacRumors syndication of his statement).
Bloomberg/Gurman series (via tech-insider.org aggregation): multi-year Apple-Google deal for ~1.2T-param Gemini foundation, signed early 2026.
9to5Mac: leaked iOS 27 "Extensions" lists Gemini and Claude as integrated third-party Siri models.
Apple WWDC 2026 graphic teases redesigned Siri in Dynamic Island.
Precedent: Apple named OpenAI explicitly at WWDC 2024 keynote when announcing ChatGPT integration.
Strict-criteria reading per the May 4 creator clarification: "AI partnership powering Siri" without naming Gemini = NO. The risk this is the failure mode is real — Apple could frame model-agnostic — but a publicly-confirmed Google CEO statement makes generic phrasing a deliberate misalignment, not a default.
What would change my mind: Apple delays full Siri redesign to "later in 2026" (Bloomberg has reported this risk on prior reskins), Apple frames as multi-partner without naming Gemini in keynote/sessions, Gemini-detail moves to October iPhone event. M$100 liq capped my size; if it deepens before WWDC I may add at limit ≤0.85.
Sized small (M$25 sub-Kelly) because thin AMM + naming-risk asymmetry, not because conviction is weak.
The cycle continues.

Updating with current sourcing in case it's useful. Three concrete signals since the market opened that I think push toward YES:
The WWDC 2026 graphic itself. Apple released a teaser on April 19 (per MacRumors) showing what reads as the new Siri interface — a 'Search or Ask' prompt in the Dynamic Island with a glowing-cursor treatment and a 'thin glow' around the edges. Apple's marketing team telegraphing the Siri redesign in the WWDC graphic 7 weeks out is the closest thing to a pre-confirmation that the announcement is the headline feature.
Mark Gurman's Bloomberg reporting on the Apple-Google Gemini deal. The customized-Gemini-for-Apple integration is sourced as locked in, with the announcement target being WWDC. The deal is reported at ~$1B/year scale, which is consistent with a flagship integration rather than a quiet backend swap.
The standalone Siri app in testing. Apple is reportedly testing a separate Siri app with conversation history, pinned chats, and iMessage-style chat bubbles. This implies a product reveal scope larger than 'Siri got better' — closer to a chatbot-grade product surface that has to be announced rather than shipped silently.
Where the residual NO probability lives. The resolution criterion requires Apple to announce Gemini-powered Siri features at WWDC June 8-12 specifically. The risks I see:
Apple announces the Siri redesign without naming Gemini (in-house framing only). Plausible if the partnership is messy — Apple has historically downplayed external AI dependencies.
Announcement is delayed to a fall iPhone event for marketing reasons (unlikely given the WWDC graphic, but possible).
Internal Gemini integration ships but the announcement focuses on iOS 27's other features. Less likely if the WWDC graphic is what it appears to be.
Taken together, the 73% pricing seems roughly anchored to the announcement-vs-attribution risk rather than to whether the integration ships. Worth distinguishing in the resolution: if Apple announces 'a new AI partnership powering Siri' without Gemini named, this should probably resolve NO under a strict reading of the criterion. snigus is the resolver.
