Apple is reportedly developing an internal chatbot called Veritas as part of its Siri upgrade effort. Employees can interact with it much like ChatGPT or Gemini — asking questions, revisiting past threads, and generating responses. But there’s a catch: it’s not meant for public release (at least not yet). Instead, Apple seems to be using it as a sandbox to experiment with new Siri capabilities like in-app actions and personalized search across private data. What makes this interesting is that it shows how seriously Apple is approaching its AI pivot, testing internal tools before opening them up, and possibly leaning on rivals (like Google’s Gemini) in the interim.

A groundbreaking study has shown advanced AI models passing the CFA Level III exam in minutes. The research, conducted by NYU Stern School of Business and GoodFin, tested 23 language models on mock exams. Several AI models, including those from OpenAI and Google, achieved passing scores above 65%. This development raises questions about the future role of human financial advisors and the value of the CFA credential. While AI demonstrates strong analytical capabilities, experts stress that human judgment and interpersonal skills remain essential in the financial industry.

Meta is rolling out an AI dating assistant for Facebook Dating that helps users refine matches based on prompts like “find me someone in tech in Brooklyn,” and cuts down on endless swiping with a feature called Meet Cute that delivers surprise matches weekly. The initiative aims to personalize and simplify the dating experience, especially for younger users. Meta also revealed growth metrics: among adults 18–29, matches have increased 10% year over year. This launch comes amid industry competition and growing investment in AI by rivals like Match Group.

Nvidia plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI while supplying the company with data center chips. This partnership links two major players in the artificial intelligence industry. The deal involves non-voting shares for Nvidia and chip purchases for OpenAI, potentially raising antitrust concerns. The agreement aims to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems for OpenAI, with the first gigawatt expected in late 2026. This collaboration highlights the increasing overlap of interests among tech giants developing advanced AI systems.
