iOS 27 brings a fully rebuilt Siri powered by a $1 billion-a-year Google Gemini deal — a standalone chatbot app with conversation history, web search, and multi-step task execution. We preview what Tim Cook will show at his final WWDC keynote on June 8th, go deep on what Magnifica Humanitas actually argues now that the full text is out, and cover Google's antitrust appeal filing as it simultaneously fights monopoly charges and announces it powers Siri.

Anthropic closed a $30 billion round at $900 billion today — overtaking OpenAI's valuation for the first time. On the same day: the Pope released his first AI encyclical with an Anthropic co-founder by his side, Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic in the biggest talent move of 2026, and a $67 billion utility merger was announced to power AI data centers.

OpenAI's AI autonomously disproved a geometry conjecture that stumped mathematicians since 1946 — using techniques no one in the field had thought to apply. Then: an Anthropic co-founder predicted an intelligence explosion by 2028. Meta was caught harvesting employee data to train AI before firing 8,000 people. Trump killed the AI safety order after three CEO phone calls. And GitHub got hacked in 18 minutes through a developer extension.

The most shocking number in SpaceX's IPO filing had nothing to do with Starship or Starlink. It was a single line: Anthropic pays SpaceX $1.25 billion per month for GPU compute — $45 billion total through 2029. We break down what that means, cover Anthropic's first-ever quarterly profit at $10.9 billion in Q2 revenue, and unpack OpenAI's same-day IPO filing that kicked off the race to be the largest tech offering in history.

A jury took less than two hours to unanimously throw out Elon Musk's $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI — dismissed on statute of limitations, not merits. OpenAI's for-profit conversion continues, the IPO moves forward, and Musk says he'll appeal. We close the loop on the case that's been running all spring, then cover the most unexpected AI story of the week: the Pope is publishing a landmark encyclical on AI Sunday — with an Anthropic co-founder by his side. Plus ElevenLabs hits $500M ARR.

Axios broke this morning that a Trump White House draft executive order would require AI labs to share frontier models with the government 90 days before public release — a significant policy reversal from an administration that spent a year fighting against AI oversight. We break down what's in it, why Anthropic's Mythos model forced the change, and what "voluntary" really means without enforcement teeth. Plus: the Oscars drew a real line on AI in films, and Google's top researcher explains why he thinks AI disrupts tasks, not jobs — with a crucial asterisk.

At Google I/O yesterday, the company deployed what it called the biggest Search upgrade in a quarter century — an AI-powered Search box that anticipates intent, accepts images, video, and Chrome tabs, and integrates your personal Gmail and Photos data. We break down the full I/O recap: Gemini 3.5 Flash, the new AI Ultra tier, Gemini Spark as a 24/7 agent, fashion-forward AI glasses with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, and why OpenAI joining Google's SynthID watermarking standard is quietly significant.

Google I/O 2026 kicks off this morning, and the stakes are real. Gemini sits third in frontier model rankings behind Anthropic and OpenAI, and a keynote full of incremental updates won't close that gap. We set the stage for what Google needs to accomplish today — a new Gemini model, a live Project Astra demo, Android XR glasses, and a credible agentic AI story.

OpenAI launched DeployCo — a $4 billion AI consulting arm — backed in part by McKinsey, Bain & Company, and Capgemini. The goal: embed Forward Deployed Engineers inside enterprises and build an implementation moat around OpenAI's models. We break down the strategy, why it's a direct response to Anthropic winning eight of the Fortune 10, and what it means for the future of enterprise AI. Plus: Codex goes mobile for four million weekly users, and Google I/O tomorrow could be one of the biggest developer keynotes in years.

Anthropic just published a policy paper arguing that decisions made this year will determine whether democracies or authoritarian regimes set the rules for AI by 2028. We break down the two scenarios, what the paper gets right, and what it's leaving out. Plus: the full picture on Cerebras' wild first week as a public company, and a preview of what Google I/O on Tuesday could mean for Gemini, AI glasses, and the developer ecosystem.
