Anthropic Overtakes OpenAI With $965 Billion Valuation

Anthropic has moved past OpenAI in the private valuation race after a huge round, underscoring how quickly AI money is shifting toward the firms with the strongest enterprise demand, revenue growth, and compute capacity.

Details:

• It raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by Altimeter, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia, with earlier committed money from Amazon

• Anthropic’s run-rate revenue topped $47 billion in early May, demand for Claude is still so strong it is hitting usage limits, and its valuation has more than doubled since February

• The leap also puts it ahead of OpenAI’s $852 billion March valuation, while Anthropic is lining up about $36 billion in debt for TPUs and both companies are still weighing IPO paths

The bigger story is that AI leadership increasingly hinges on capital, compute, and customer traction, and Anthropic has set a fresh benchmark for the race.

Apple

Apple May Finally Be Rebuilding Siri Around Modern AI

Apple’s iOS 27 update will make Siri more chatbot-like, featuring a Dynamic Island interface, a standalone app, and support for external AI models, aiming to combine search, chat, and device tasks in one.

Details:

• Siri is said to surface from Dynamic Island with swipe-down controls for quick chat, AI search, and iPhone actions, while using on-device data, what is on screen, and the web to answer queries

• Reuters says Apple is testing third-party AI options such as Google Gemini and Anthropic, so some Siri requests could be routed to outside models instead of Apple’s own

• Bloomberg-linked reporting also points to a ChatGPT-style Siri app with chat history and attachments, plus AI upgrades for Camera, Photos, wallpapers, and smarter Shortcut creation

Taken together, the reports suggest Apple is rebuilding Siri into a more flexible AI layer, but these details are still early reports rather than a final announcement.

AI Tutorial

How to Set Up Gemini Features in Gmail in 2 Minutes

Google just added Gemini inside Gmail, and it’s more useful than most people think. In a few minutes, you can search your inbox with plain English, draft replies using the thread’s context, and quickly adjust tone and length.

1. Check subscription

   Make sure you’re using a Google Workspace account or an “AI Pro” personal account.

2. Adjust Gmail settings

   Go to Gmail. Tap Settings (top right). Make sure “smart features” are enabled among the available options.

3. Use Ask Gemini to search

   Press “Ask Gemini” next to Settings and ask it questions about what’s in your email.

   Example prompts:

   “Show me the emails about my upcoming invoices.”

   “Find messages related to the event invite I got this week.”

4. Start draft

   Enter any email draft. Use one of these to trigger Gemini:

   • Option + H (Mac)

   • Alt + H (Windows)

   Or tap “Help me write”

5. Let it write using context

   Tell Gemini what you want the email to say, and it will draft it based on the existing thread or draft.

   Example prompts:

   “Write a polite reply asking for a quick update and a fresh timeline.”

   “Draft a short thank-you note and confirm I’ll follow up tomorrow.”

6. Regenerate tone and length

   After Gemini writes a reply:

   • Tap “Recreate” to regenerate it

   • Press “Refine” to change the tone or length

Note: For high-stakes emails, use Gemini to shape structure and wording, then manually verify facts, dates, and promises before sending.
