At Emerson Collective’s Demo Day, Laurene Powell Jobs got Jony Ive and Sam Altman to open up a bit more about what they’re building together.

In the interview, the duo reveal that they have their first AI hardware prototypes and expect to start building the product in less than two years.

Rumors of Apple considering a Perplexity acquisition refuse to cease. Meanwhile, another AI firm continues to be part of the conversation. Both are mentioned in a new report that paints a picture of Eddy Cue as pro-acquisition despite pushback from other Apple executives.

Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default.

Back in April, Notion launched its AI-centric email client on the Mac. Four months later, Notion Mail has arrived on iOS.

My former colleague Parker Ortolani has been experimenting with “vibe coding” for months, building native and web apps by steering large language models with carefully crafted prompts. GPT-4o and Claude helped him get functional prototypes running, but GPT-5 is the first model that delivers the complete experience he’s been waiting for. Here’s how GPT-5 improves on earlier models:

Following OpenAI’s big week filled with open models and GPT-5, Anthropic is on a streak of its own with AI announcements.

Earlier today, OpenAI announced GPT-5, its latest model to power ChatGPT. The new frontier model is a significant leap forward in a lot of areas. But when will ChatGPT integration within Apple Intelligence adopt it? That’s actually happening rather soon…

“That’s no moon,” as Obi-Wan Kenobi once said. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stirred intrigue with a cryptic post last night showing the Death Star from Star Wars as a hint that something big is coming.

This week, OpenAI released its long-awaited open weight model called gpt-oss. Part of the appeal of gpt-oss is that you can run it locally on your own hardware, including Macs with Apple silicon. Here’s how to get started and what to expect.

OpenAI is having a big week. Yesterday, the leading AI firm dropped not one, but two open-weight models, including one that can run well on Apple silicon Macs. Next? GPT-5 is coming to ChatGPT.

Living up to its name, OpenAI has released not one but two new open-weight AI models after promising to deliver a new open-weight model earlier this year. The two models, gpt-oss-20b and gpt-oss-120b, are available to download for free now.

In May, AI firm Anthropic introduced its Claude 4 family of models with a focus on improvements to coding, reasoning, and following instructions. Three months later, Anthropic is back with Claude Opus 4.1, which it says upgrades “agentic tasks, real-world coding, and reasoning.”

OpenAI is updating how ChatGPT works to encourage healthier use and avoid unintended consequences. One change that OpenAI says ChatGPT users will see “starting today” is a technique used by other digital services.

Ask any non-native English speaker, and they’ll probably tell you that LLMs tend to perform much better in Shakespeare’s language than in their own

Sometimes, the difference is subtle. Sometimes, not so much. Sometimes, it’s downright dangerous, as shown in this 2023 Carnegie Mellon study, which found that non-English inputs could more easily bypass safety filters.

Now, Apple has co-authored a study proposing a new method that could close part of this gap.

After a tough period of laying staff down and hiking prices up following its acquisition by Bending Spoons, Evernote has finally been getting some cool features.

Recently, the platform got multimodal AI transcription support, and it’s actually pretty good.

In early 2023, Spotify launched DJ, an interesting feature that leveraged a text-to-speech LLM to deliver… traditional radio, pretty much.

Now, Spotify has announced that, much like traditional radio, DJ can also take requests.

Today, TikTok announced AI Alive, an AI filter that will allow users to animate static photos through prompts. ByteDance says that this new image-to-video feature undergoes multiple checks to avoid misuse, and its output will be labeled as AI-generated.

Here’s how to use it.

Eddy Cue is in court today giving testimony as part of Google’s antitrust case related to search. And in addition to confirming an upcoming shift toward AI providers in Safari, Apple’s services head shared a fascinating quote related to the iPhone’s future.
