Okay folks, weβre switching things up today.
Instead of spotlighting just one big headline, weβre hitting you with a triple-shot of what went down in AI over the weekendβbecause too much happened and we simply couldnβt pick one.
So hereβs your quickfire recapπ
For starters: Google Just Went Full Brainiac With Gemini 2.5 Deep Think
Yup, Google just dropped Gemini 2.5 Deep Thinkβand this isnβt your average chatbot. Itβs kind of like a multi-agent reasoning model, but hereβs the twist: instead of a whole team of AI agents rushing to spit out an answer, this one thinks through the problem from multiple angles on its own, evaluates them all at once, refines its approach, then combines the best ideas into one smart response.
This process is called βparallel thinking techniqueβ
And it can:
Tackle complex math, coding, and logic problems like a boss
Crank out way longer, way smarter responses than old-school AI ever could.
Whip up slick, detailed websites with better design and structure that actually look good.
Work seamlessly with tools like code execution and Google Searchβautomatically.
Scored higher than OpenAI and xAI on benchmark tests like LiveCodeBench 6 and Humanityβs Last Exam (yep, thatβs a real thing)
Ohβand fun fact? A version of this model helped Google snag gold at the International Math Olympiad.
But donβt get too excitedβaccess is locked behind Googleβs $250/month Ultra plan. π€ because elite brains donβt come cheap, apparently.
Still, this is a major swing at OpenAIβs lead and a clear sign that Googleβs officially back in the ring, gloves on. If youβve got the financial muscle, itβs worth checking out.
Meanwhile, in Drama Land: Anthropic Just Cut Off OpenAI
Whewww. The AI tension is real.
Anthropic just revoked OpenAIβs access to its Claude APIβand the tea? Piping hot.
Hereβs the tea:
OpenAI was reportedly using Claude to benchmark and test ahead of GPT-5 launch.
Anthropic found out, called it a terms of service violation, and straight-up cut them off.
OpenAIβs response? βItβs industry standard practice.β Anthropicβs vibe? βNot with us, itβs not.β
This isnβt just petty tech beefβitβs a real power struggle over how βopenβ AI should be when billion-dollar models are on the line.
Bottom line? The AI world is no longer all hugs and open APIs. Everyoneβs guarding their secret sauce nowβand itβs getting real territorial
Lastly, Appleβs Plotting Its ChatGPT Moment!
Yup, Appleβs finally making moves in the AI space that arenβt just βWe partnered with OpenAI.β
According to Bloomberg, theyβve spun up a brand-new internal team called Answers, Knowledge, and Information (which honestly sounds like a nerdy spy squad and we love it).
Their mission? Build a native AI answer engineβbasically, Appleβs own ChatGPT-style system, deeply baked into Siri, Safari, and across iOS.
Couple things to note:
It could show up as a standalone app, or just be a massive Siri glow-up
Theyβre actively hiring search engine pros to build it
This move could finally help Apple break free from Google search dependencyβespecially with that recent antitrust heat on Google
And letβs be honest: Siriβs been long overdue for a brain transplant. This might be it
So, Whatβs the Big Picture?
The multi-agent AI wave is officially hereβGoogle, xAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all building models that think in teams. Thatβs the future: not one AI giving you an answer, but a squad working it out together, behind the scenes.
At the same time, weβre watching the industry shift from βopen and collaborativeβ to private, premium, and power-play-heavy. Everyoneβs:
Building smarter models
Guarding access
Locking their best tools behind subscription paywalls
And now? Even Appleβs joining the fight.
Thatβs it for your AI power briefing. Now go aheadβpick your fave headline and dive in deeper.
