9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-12 23:20:50

Apple is in talks with Anthropic and OpenAI to power the revamped version of Siri, potentially sidelining its own in-house AI models in the process. Here are the details. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has asked both OpenAI and Anthropic to train customized versions of their large language models that could run on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute infrastructure. Rather than relying on third-party cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, these models would live on servers powered by Apple s

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-09-12 23:26:20

In Brief Apple is considering using AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to power its updated version of Siri, rather than using technology the company has built in-house, according to a report from Bloomberg on Monday. The iPhone maker continues to build out a project internally dubbed “LLM Siri” that uses in-house AI models, according to Bloomberg. However, Apple has reportedly asked OpenAI and Anthropic to train versions of their AI models that can run on Apple’s cloud infrastructure for tes

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-09-12 23:48:24

Instagram announced Monday that it’s finally adding the ability for users to listen to previews of songs that they’ve shared from Spotify to Stories. While Instagram has long allowed users to share Spotify songs to their Stories, it would do so without sound, and simply provide a link to the song on the streaming platform. Now, when a user posts a song to their Story, viewers will be able to listen to a preview of the song right within Instagram. The small change, yet notable change makes it e

What happened when Anthropic's Claude AI ran a small shop for a month (spoiler: it got weird)

Daniel Grizelj/Getty Images Large language models (LLMs) handle many tasks well -- but at least for the time being, running a small business doesn't seem to be one of them. On Friday, AI startup Anthropic published the results of "Project Vend," an internal experiment in which the company's Claude chatbot was asked to manage an automated vending machine service for about a month.

ZDNET Those of you who use Microsoft Authenticator as a password manager will have to find another option, and soon.

Forecasters to Lose Hurricane Satellite Data at the Worst Possible Time

In one month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Hurricane Center (NHC) will lose access to critical satellite data that lets meteorologists see inside the eye of a storm. This marks the latest blow to the agency’s forecasting abilities as hurricane season gets underway.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Is a Suitably Fun, Undeniably Thin Dino Adventure

Jurassic World Rebirth is everything both good and bad about the Jurassic franchise rolled into one. It borrows from the original film with a straightforward story that quickly pits our heroes against a new group dynamic: terrifying dinosaurs. However, it lacks much of the rich characterization and emotions inherent to making that story special. You’re glad that it’s fast-paced and action-packed, but bummed you don’t care that much about it. In the end, though, especially after the previous film
