š„ Whatās Really Happening in AI Right Now:
Apple might be building its own AI āanswer engineā
Apple has created a new team called "Answers, Knowledge, and Information" to build an AI tool like ChatGPT that can answer questions using web data. It might become a separate app or improve search in Siri and Safari. Apple is hiring experts in search technology for this project. Although ChatGPT is already in Siri, Appleās own AI updates to Siri have been delayed. Apple may also need to change its deal with Google after a recent antitrust ruling.
Perplexity CEO says AI will automate two office jobs with just one prompt
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas says their new AI browser, Comet, could soon replace jobs like recruiters and admin assistants. On a podcast, he explained that Comet can use tools like Gmail and LinkedIn to find job candidates, gather contact info, and send personalized emailsāall with just one prompt. It's currently in beta for premium users.
AI Researcher Turns Down Meta's $125M Offer
Meta hired AI researcher Matt Deitke for $250 million after he turned down their first offer of $125 million. He now works at Metaās Superintelligence Lab and has a strong background in AI, including a PhD from the University of Washington and past roles at the Allen Institute for AI and a startup he co-founded. Meanwhile, another top AI expert, Andrew Tulloch, surprised many by rejecting a huge $1 billion offer from Meta to stay with his own company, Thinking Machines Lab.
Anthropic reportedly cut OpenAI access to Claude
OpenAI reportedly used Anthropicās Claude API to test and compare its upcoming GPT-5 model, which broke Anthropicās rules against using their tools to build competing AI. As a result, Anthropic cut off OpenAIās access. OpenAI said this kind of testing is common in the industry and was surprised by the decision, especially since Anthropic still has access to OpenAIās API. Anthropic has also recently limited API use for others due to policy violations and account misuse.
