❗️The AI race between the US and China is intensifying.

Currently, 20 of the world’s 50 most used AI models come from China, according to Apollo, up 400% since 2025. Over the same period, the number of US models in the group has fallen to 28 from 33.

Meanwhile, monthly token usage of Chinese models among the top 20 AI models surged +113% MoM, to 98 trillion tokens in June. By comparison, US model token usage rose +43% MoM, to 53 trillion tokens last month. As a result, token usage for Chinese models is now 85% higher than for US models, up from 24% in May.

The Information says that the first device from OpenAI, reportedly a camera-equipped smart speaker, could ship no earlier than Feb-27.

Apple could seek restrictions covering disputed designs, manufacturing methods, suppliers, or future product work.

Apple of course, still needs solid evidence linking specific secrets to actual OpenAI products or processes.

⚠️ OpenAI is reportedly expanding ChatGPT beyond individual productivity and toward family and household use.

The company is hiring a dedicated product manager in San Francisco to build experiences for families, caregivers, and older adults across OpenAI products.

The move comes as ChatGPT’s audience is getting older and more family-oriented. Sensor Tower estimates that users aged 35 and above rose from 26% to 31% globally over the past year, while the 18–24 share declined.

In the U.S., nearly 1 in 4 smartphone users who are parents reportedly used ChatGPT during the quarter, up from 16% a year earlier.

⚡️Robot hands are now a battleground

Tesla, BrainCo, Wuji, and 1X are all racing to build hands with 20-plus degrees of freedom capable of using tools and feeling texture.

Some mimic human forearms with tendon-driven fingers while others pack motors directly inside each digit.

❗️The Apple vs OpenAI situation is not normal. This is far bigger than anything we have seen in tech IP battles. Here is the actual story. ↓

Apple did not just sue OpenAI. They sued OpenAI, OpenAI Foundation, OpenAI Group, io Products, Tang Tan, and Chang Liu individually. Six defendants. That is not a warning shot. That is a coordinated legal offensive.

Start with the people.

Tang Yew Tan spent 24 years at Apple. VP of Product Design for iPhone and Apple Watch. He left to co-found io Products with Jony Ive, Evans Hankey, and Scott Cannon. All former Apple leadership. OpenAI acquired io for $6.5 billion last year. That acquisition was not about a startup. It was about importing Apple's entire hardware brain trust.

Apple alleges Tan directed candidates still employed at Apple to bring "actual parts" to interviews. Batteries. Logic boards. Show and tell sessions. He allegedly emailed himself supplier information before leaving. Used internal Apple codenames during OpenAI interviews. And circulated an internal Apple offboarding document to coach new hires on dodging exit security checks.

Then Chang Liu.

Senior system electrical engineer. 8 years building iPhones. Left for OpenAI in January 2026. Apple asked for the laptop back. He ignored them.

Within hours of leaving he messaged a friend still at Apple: "I still have another computer." Found an authentication bug that still gave him access to Apple's confidential cloud storage. Downloaded dozens of files while working on OpenAI hardware. A thousand-plus page compilation of technical documents. Main logic board manufacturing data. Engineering specs on unreleased products.

Then he started coaching Yu-Ting "Alyssa" Peng. Sent her links to proprietary folders. Told her how to copy files "to avoid trouble with the security team." Prepped her for her OpenAI interview with stolen materials. Warned her another candidate fumbled Tang Tan's questions about a secret Apple project. Told her to switch to LINE Messenger so nobody sees the messages.

His message after finding the bug: "LOL, I found out I can access the network storage, so funny."

Her reply: "I'm ready."

Every single message was left on Apple-issued work laptops.
She got the OpenAI offer. Left Apple on April 16. She is not sued but features heavily in the complaint.

Then the supplier angle nobody is talking about.

OpenAI allegedly got one of Apple's exclusive manufacturing partners to demonstrate a proprietary metal finishing technique by letting the partner believe Apple had approved it. That is not just talent poaching.

That is allegedly using Apple's own supply chain relationships against them.
400+ former Apple employees now work at OpenAI. Apple is calling this a coordinated campaign at the institutional level. A "pattern of theft at every level." And they say this is the "tip of the iceberg" because they have limited visibility into what is happening inside OpenAI.

Apple is not asking for money. They want an injunction barring OpenAI from using the secrets. Return of every file. Full discovery into io Products. Right as OpenAI preps a device launch and an IPO.

If a judge grants it, OpenAI may have to prove every component of their device was built clean. Part by part. Before it ships.
Think about what Apple is really saying here.

You did not just hire our people. You hired everything they knew. Our circuit designs. Our manufacturing processes. Our supplier relationships. Our testing failures. Twenty years of learning what works and what does not.

That is Apple's moat. Not the iPhone. The decades of knowledge behind it.
And their argument to the court is simple: you cannot rebuild in two years what took us two decades to learn.

The talent war just became a trade secret war. And this is not two startups fighting. This is a trillion dollar company telling a company preparing an IPO that its flagship hardware product may be built on stolen foundations.

This is not normal.

🗣 Computer scientist Stephen Wolfram:

"We're already in a situation where, in addition to human civilization, there's a civilization of the AIs, an alien civilization right in front of us"

Once we use the computational universe, we move beyond building only things we can fully predict.

🔥Jamie Dimon: "My biggest fear would be cyber. AI makes cyber FAR WORSE."

The JPMorgan CEO says his biggest fear is cyber and he has written about the threat for years.

When asked about new Anthropic technology that could enable a catastrophic cyberattack with no defense.

He said it "was built to defend, but it’s a weapon that could be used to attack."

"cyber is huge and it’s getting worse every single year."

Can you predict the next frontier AI model just by watching data centers?

Peter Wildeford, a world champion superforecaster thinks you can.

He says the best clues aren’t leaks or rumors, but data center construction timelines and the Epoch ECI curve, which tracks frontier model performance across 10+ major benchmarks.
