Apple is considering replacing its Siri AI with advanced language models from Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI's ChatGPT to enhance user experience and functionality. This move reflects Apple's ongoing efforts to improve its AI capabilities in response to competitive pressures in the tech industry.

OpenAI has raised $8.3 billion in new funding, bringing its total fundraising to $40 billion, as its annual recurring revenue is projected to exceed $20 billion by year-end. The surge in capital reflects increasing investor interest in AI, with competitors like Anthropic also seeking substantial funding. Notably, OpenAI is collaborating with a UAE firm to establish a data center in Abu Dhabi.
