The Rundown: Apple is reportedly in talks with Google to integrate its Gemini AI model into the iPhone — potentially rolling out advanced AI capabilities to billions of users as soon as iOS 18 later this year.
The details:
Gemini would enable new AI-powered functions for creating images, writing text, and more, complementing Apple's on-device AI enhancements.
Apple also held previous discussions with OpenAI about using its models, with OpenAI now also reportedly in talks with Samsung.
Tim Cook has promised major AI announcements at WWDC in June, though a potential Google deal may not be finalized by then.
Why it matters: Despite pushing forward with their own AI tech, Apple integrating Gemini would be a massive power play — though OpenAI siding with Samsung would be an equally compelling counter. However it shakes out, powerful AI-integrated phones are arriving VERY soon.

The Rundown: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just offered new glimpses into GPT-5, Sora, his vision for AGI, and more in a new interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast.
The details:
Altman confirmed OpenAI will release ‘an amazing new model’ this year and ‘many different things’ in the coming months.
When asked about GPT-4, Altman said it “sucks“ and that the leap in capabilities for GPT-5 will be similar to GPT-3’s jump to GPT-4.
Altman highlighted Sora's ability to understand and generate worlds, seeing it as a step towards AI assisting the physical world via robotics.
He also predicted that compute will be the currency of the future and possibly the most precious commodity in the world.
Why it matters: It’s rare to get raw, long-form thoughts from one of the world's most important CEOs. Altman speaks like someone who knows game-changing releases are coming soon—and the last time he went on with Lex, we got GPT-4.

The Rundown: Jensen Huang just unveiled Nvidia’s next-gen Blackwell GPU architecture and the GB200 Superchip, delivering massive performance and efficiency gains to power the future of AI and computing.
The details:
The Blackwell B200 GPU packs 208 billion transistors and is billed as the "world's most powerful chip".
The Superchip delivers 30x the performance of its H100 GPU predecessor while using 25x less energy.
Nvidia said the Blackwell innovations will allow for training for up to 10T parameter models.
Huang also revealed that GPT-4 contains 1.8T parameters and that 2000 Blackwell chips could finish training the model in 90 days.
Why it matters: Blackwell represents a seemingly generational leap in power, cementing Nvidia’s lead in accelerated computing and AI. With widespread industry adoption already lining up, these chips are poised to be the engine driving the next wave.
