Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has published renderings and details of iOS 27 ahead of Apple’s June 8 WWDC, centered on a long-promised Siri overhaul. The rebuilt assistant is said to run on a custom Google Gemini model — reported at roughly 1.2 trillion parameters — hosted on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, living inside the Dynamic Island and gaining a standalone, ChatGPT-style app with chat history, voice and document upload.

Altman and Amodei Walk Back Their AI “Jobs Apocalypse” — “I’m Delighted to Be Wrong,” Says Altman, as Both Eye $1T IPOs

On May 26, both Sam Altman and Dario Amodei softened their AI “jobs apocalypse” warnings. Altman told Commonwealth Bank’s CEO he was “pretty wrong” and “delighted to be wrong” that entry-level white-collar roles haven’t been wiped out, while Amodei recast his 50%-of-white-collar-jobs warning as automation that “expands” human work. The walk-back lands just as OpenAI and Anthropic head toward IPOs valued near $1 trillion each.

Inside GenAI.mil: 25 Pentagon "Power Users" Are Bake-Offing OpenAI, Google and Grok Against Claude

Bloomberg pulled back the curtain on the DoD’s replacement search for Claude this week: a hand-picked group of 25 military "power users," a new platform called GenAI.mil that sits independent of Maven Smart System, and a six-month transition deadline for every contractor that built on Anthropic. Frontier models from OpenAI, Google and xAI are now being graded inside classified workflows that Claude used to own.

Together AI Open-Sources OSCAR, a 2-Bit KV Cache That Cuts Long-Context Serving Costs in Half

OSCAR — Offline Spectral Covariance-Aware Rotation — squeezes the KV cache that bloats every long-context request down to two bits per element, with no measurable accuracy loss on Qwen3-32B or GLM-4.7 across reasoning, math and coding benchmarks. Together AI shipped it into SGLang on May 25, framing it as one of the more practical wins for actually-affordable 1M-token serving.

SpaceX Sets Terms for the Largest IPO Ever: ~$1.75T Valuation, Up to $75B, Trading June 12 as SPCX

SpaceX has locked in the schedule for what would be the biggest IPO in history: an investor roadshow opening June 4, pricing on June 11 and a Nasdaq debut on June 12 under the ticker SPCX, targeting a valuation around $1.75 trillion and a raise of up to $75 billion. That would dwarf Saudi Aramco's $35.4 billion record — and the prospectus is also where the AI world learned SpaceX is renting Anthropic $1.25 billion of compute a month.

NextEra to Buy Dominion for $67B in an All-Stock Deal Built for the AI Power Era

NextEra Energy has agreed to acquire Dominion Energy in an all-stock deal worth about $67 billion, creating the world's largest regulated electric utility. The rationale is almost entirely about AI: the two companies project U.S. power demand will climb roughly 60% by 2045, driven by data-center hubs that now approach 5,000 megawatts apiece, and the combined firm is chasing a large-load pipeline north of 130 gigawatts.
