Amazon invested $50 billion in OpenAI earlier this year
Breaking: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among the tech leaders who raised concerns to senior Trump officials this week re: security risks in Anthropic's newest models.
Those convos set in motion the government's new export controls on foreign national access to Mythos and Fable.

OpenAI should buy Adobe
Gains instant distribution into Adobe’s 850m MAUs, supports their image model and creative industry push with a leading brand, gives them an enterprise foothold to compete in productivity software, and provides a highly profitable cash cow to support model training, all for about 1/10th of their current EV

So, you get to bank one, and use it for later
We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time.
Starting today, we’re rolling out the ability to save rate limit resets to use later.
We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset:

There's a switch that flips in your brain that starts routing things to Claude Cowork vs. doing them yourself. And once you're there it's pretty crazy.

Love that, judging by the screenshots here, Claude Fable 5 has spent its entire day answering the dumbest questions known to man

I get keeping the naming convention with the story and poem stuff, but Mythos had serious brand equity and probably should've stuck

OpenAI IPO en route!
We recently submitted a confidential S-1. We expect it to leak so we’re just announcing it. We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it’s a complicated set of tradeoffs and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best.
This announcement is being made pursuant to Rule 135 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offers, solicitations of offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

I'm in a media Q&A session with Craig Federighi. Starting with clarifying how Apple Intelligence works compared to other AI services. It's NOT powered by Gemini Assistant or Google Search. The Apple Foundation Models are built based on Gemini models; those Apple Foundation Models are then accessed on device and/or in Apple's Private Cloud Compute, and supplemented with Apple's own world knowledge base as necessary. #WWDC26

You could also see how this version of Apple Intelligence will set the stage for a more agentic version that will take action for you. Prediction: Today's #WWDC was about context, coming years will be about action.

So far, the Apple Intelligence presentation at #WWDC is very impressive. They are building to the technology's capabilities today, not some imaginary future. Now, they just have to ship a working version.

Watching #WWDC, let's just say I'd be deflated if I was building a personal superintelligence app that was going to live on this OS

Happy #WWDC26 day!
Something to think about as the keynote gets underway: @Apple’s AI problem still hasn’t become an iPhone problem. And so far that's fine, but for how long?
