Big Tech came out swinging this past weekend—and honestly, some of these moves feel less like innovation and more like a frantic “don’t fall behind” scramble.

Let’s take a look:

First, Musk tosses Grok into the wild

Elon Musk’s xAI just made Grok 2.5 model open source—which means you can now download it, poke around, and see what makes it tick. Sounds cool, right?

Well… don’t get too excited. The fine print says you can’t use Grok to train or build other AI models. (Boring.) Musk also claims Grok 3 will drop in six months, but this is Elon—so, yeah, we’ll believe it when we see it.

And a quick reminder: this is the same Grok that once went full internet troll and called itself “MechaHitler.” Now, xAI swears that was just a glitch from old code that’s now fixed, but still… throwing this into the wild? Brave move.

Meanwhile we got a hold of Siri’s awkward glow-Up plans.

No shocker here: Siri is still not giving. While Alexa and ChatGPT are out here writing essays and cracking jokes, Siri’s stuck in 2012, setting timers and mishearing names.

So what’s Apple doing? Calling Google. Yep, their arch-rival.

Reports say Apple is in talks with Google about powering its next-gen AI assistant. They’ve also chatted with OpenAI and Anthropic, but no official deal yet.

Translation? Apple’s scrambling to borrow brains. It’s like the “cool kid” copying homework the night before finals.

Lastly, Meta and Midjourney just became the latest AI Power Couple.

Yup, Meta just signed a licensing deal with Midjourney—the indie AI art powerhouse known for its jaw-dropping images and zero VC funding, all while pulling in $200M+ a year.

Meta plans to plug Midjourney’s tech into its AI lineup, which already includes Imagine (image generation) and Movie Gen (video prompts).

Let’s be real: this is just Zuck leveling up his AI empire. Over the past year, he’s:

Now with Midjourney on his side, Meta’s basically saying: “If we can’t outbuild them, we’ll out-cool them.”

Our Take: What a weekend. Musk is tossing Grok into the wild, Apple’s low-key panicking and calling its rivals for help, and Zuck is assembling the AI Avengers one deal at a time.

We’ve said it before and we’ll keep saying it: the AI hype is feral right now. Valuations are popping off, startups are raising cash faster than you can refresh Twitter, and everyone’s clawing to “get in early.”

Seriously—your cousin’s barber’s crypto friend probably swears he’s cracked the code to buying OpenAI shares. Plot twist: OpenAI just pulled up with a big, loud—“Don’t. Even. Try it.”

Here’s the deal:

Some folks have been sneaking onto OpenAI’s investor list through SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles). Translation? It’s basically an “investor group chat” where everyone dumps cash in one pot and pretends they’ve unlocked VIP access to shares they’d never sniff otherwise.

Cute move. Maybe even smart. But OpenAI is not here for it.

Their message was blunt: “If you buy in this way, your shares are fake. And worthless. Full stop.”

And that really means:

Why Is OpenAI Mad?

And it’s not just OpenAI throwing shade. Anthropic is cracking down too—they reportedly blocked Menlo Ventures from trying an SPV play in their next round.

Why You Should Care:

This isn’t just corporate drama—it could reshape AI investing altogether.

Bottom line: every “exclusive deal” you see on LinkedIn or Twitter deserves a fat dose of skepticism.

And if you’re serious about investing in AI, skip the magic beans. Build real relationships, understand the legal game, and move smart.

Your cheat sheet:

In short:

This market needed the cold shower.

AI equity’s so hot right now that people are tossing six or seven figures on handshake deals, convinced they’ve found a secret shortcut.

What this really shows is how fast AI companies are leveling up. They’re not scrappy underdogs anymore—they’re Fortune 500 energy with lawyers, guardrails, and zero patience for side hustles.
