SoftBank secures $11.87B loan for OpenAI investment

Bloomberg reports SoftBank Group Corp. secured an $11.87 billion loan to support its investment in OpenAI.

Leaked iOS 27/macOS code suggests Apple’s new Siri architecture may delegate to third-party models and replace server-side inference, with examples for Claude and ChatGPT and a potential server swap to GPT-5.6.

An OECD report finds student use of AI chatbots for homework has led to about 1.5 years of lost learning progress, with use especially pervasive in Asian economies.

Code shows Apple may let Siri use third‑party models

Leaked code for iOS 27/macOS suggests Apple's new Siri architecture supports third‑party model delegation and replacing server‑side inference, with examples showing Claude and ChatGPT as Siri extensions and a potential server swap to GPT‑5.6. If real, this could enable deep integration of external large models with Apple system features.
