LATEST AI NEWS

OPENAI

Sam Altman announced that OpenAI will launch a new open-weight AI model in the coming months ā€” its first since GPT-2 back in 2019. The move signals a major shift as rivals like DeepSeek and Google gain ground with open alternatives.

The Details:

  • The model will include reasoning capabilities and allow post-release modifications, according to Altman.

  • OpenAI plans to hold developer events starting in San Francisco, then across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

  • Extensive evaluations will be done before release, using OpenAIā€™s preparedness framework.

  • The model is intended for users who want to run AI locally rather than via API access.

Why it matters:

This marks a rare step toward openness for OpenAI, which has been criticized for keeping its most powerful models proprietary. With Metaā€™s Llama models and DeepSeek gaining traction globally, this new move could be OpenAIā€™s bid to regain developer trust and community influence in the open-source AI space.

APPLE

Apple is preparing to upgrade its Health app with an AI-powered health coach under a project internally known as ā€œProject Mulberry.ā€ The new feature aims to turn Apple devices into intelligent, proactive health companions.

The Details:

  • The upcoming coach will use AI to analyze user health data and offer personalized advice based on metrics like heart rate, sleep, and blood oxygen.

  • The new experience may be branded as ā€œHealth+ā€ and will include food tracking and video content from doctors.

  • Apple is training the model using internal physicians and plans to expand its medical content library.

  • The feature is being tested now and could debut with other AI announcements at WWDC on June 9.

Why it matters:

Appleā€™s move signals a deeper push into preventative health and personalized wellness. While AI in health is gaining traction industry-wide, Appleā€™s approach could make advanced health insights mainstream ā€” right from your wrist or phone.

RUNWAY

Runway has unveiled Gen-4, its most powerful AI video generation model, boasting major improvements in realism, consistency, and scene control ā€” raising the bar for synthetic video tools.

The Details:

  • Gen-4 generates dynamic videos with realistic motion and consistent characters, locations, and styles ā€” even under changing lighting.

  • It accepts visual references plus text prompts to craft detailed shots from different angles, with no fine-tuning required.

  • Runway claims Gen-4 has ā€œbest-in-class world understandingā€ and physics simulation in AI video.

  • The model is rolling out now to individual and enterprise customers via Runwayā€™s platform.

Why it matters:

Backed by Google, Salesforce, and Nvidia, Runway is positioning Gen-4 as a Hollywood-ready tool ā€” but faces legal pressure over its training data. As the $4B startup eyes major growth, Gen-4 could supercharge film production while reshaping creative jobs and industry workflows.

Microsoft is expanding Copilot Plus AI toolsā€”including Live Captions, Paint Cocreator, and Photos upgradesā€”to Intel and AMD PCs. Once limited to Qualcomm chips, these Windows 11 updates now offer real-time translation and creative boosts to a wider audience.

OpenAIā€™s ChatGPT now earns over $415M monthly, a 30% jump in three months. With 20M+ paying users and new viral features, itā€™s outshining Googleā€™s Gemini. Despite no profits yet, OpenAIā€™s aggressive push keeps it at the heart of the AI race.

Alibaba is set to release Qwen 3, its newest AI model, as early as this month. The move heats up competition with DeepSeek, whose recent breakthroughs have rocked the global AI scene. Alibaba claims Qwen 2.5-Max already outperformed DeepSeek V3.
