Apple unveiled Siri AI at WWDC 2026, rebranding its assistant two years after Apple Intelligence overpromised and underdelivered. The revamp adds on-screen reasoning, context from apps like photos and messages, and systemwide actions.

Apple built Siri AI on a custom Google Gemini model rather than its own engine, reportedly paying Google roughly $1 billion a year. Requests process on-device or through Private Cloud Compute without storing data.

Siri AI arrives as a free fall update for iPhone 15 Pro and newer, skipping the EU and China at launch. Anyone who has touched a frontier chatbot may find the demos feel dated.

OpenAI confidentially filed for an IPO Monday, just over a week after rival Anthropic did the same. The company said it went public with the news because it expected a leak.

Three of tech's biggest names could list within months, including SpaceX at a $1.75 trillion valuation. Whoever debuts first likely grabs more of the increasingly scarce capital chasing AI companies.

OpenAI projects burning $85 billion in 2028 and won't outearn its spending for at least four years. It is asking public investors to buy that math while Anthropic nears its first quarterly profit.

Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 on Tuesday, a Mythos-class model now available to enterprise customers and paid subscribers. New safeguards block high-risk responses in areas like cybersecurity and biology.

The release follows April's limited rollout of Mythos, which excels at finding software security flaws. Anthropic capitalizes on investor interest ahead of a potentially massive IPO it filed for last week.

Fable 5 costs twice as much as Claude Opus 4.8, at $50 per million output tokens. Anthropic's pitch: smarter models deliver higher ROI, so paying double saves you money.

Meta stripped a hidden facial recognition system from its smart glasses app one day after WIRED exposed it. The unactivated code, internally called NameTag, sat on more than 50 million phones.

The dormant code could convert any captured face into a biometric faceprint, store it on the device, and match it against a database updated from Meta's servers. Meta says the feature remains purely exploratory.

A leaked Meta memo reportedly floated launching the tool during a "dynamic political environment," when privacy advocates would be distracted. Getting caught months early apparently did not fit that plan.

Apple announced at WWDC that third-party developers can soon partner to sell subscription bundles on the App Store, packaging apps from different makers into one purchase through Apple In-App Purchase.

Developers could previously bundle only their own apps. Now they can team up across catalogs, offering discounts that beat buying each subscription separately. A new Suite option groups subscriptions you buy only as a set.

Apple is lifting this straight from streaming, where Apple TV already tacks on Peacock for $2 a month. Bundles also retain users better than standalone subs, which keeps Apple's cut flowing longer.
