The system is built on Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol to manage permissions and tool access.
OpenAI aims for premium ad pricing inside ChatGPT
OpenAI is reportedly targeting CPMs around $60 for ads shown inside ChatGPT, significantly higher than most social platforms. Ads will only appear for free and Go tier users in the U.S., while Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will remain ad-free.
Apple prepares a major Siri update
Apple is planning a full revamp of Siri into a more conversational, ChatGPT-style assistant for iOS 27, supporting both voice and text input. The effort follows delayed features and internal testing with multiple AI partners, with recent indications pointing toward Google’s Gemini.
