🍎 Apple’s New Answer Engine (AKI Team)

Apple is quietly building its own “Answer Engine,” 

A ChatGPT-style system that could change how iPhone users search the web.

If successful, Apple may no longer rely on Google for search on its devices.

📰 What’s New?
Apple has formed a team called AKI (Answers, Knowledge & Information), led by former Siri executive Robby Walker.

This team is building a proprietary answer engine that will crawl the web and reply to natural language questions.

Apple plans to integrate it into Siri, Spotlight, Safari, and potentially launch a standalone app.

Currently, Apple pays Google $20B/year to be the default search engine on iPhones.

With AI competition heating up and antitrust pressures mounting, Apple is also considering a $14B acquisition or partnership with Perplexity AI.

🚨 Why It Matters:

• Apple relies heavily on Google for search revenue (~$20B/year).

• The U.S. DOJ may soon force Apple to end its deal with Google.

• Siri is outdated – Apple needs a real AI assistant to compete with ChatGPT and Gemini.

• Acquiring Perplexity could jumpstart Apple’s AI search efforts.

⏭️ What’s Next?

• AKI team is hiring search algorithm experts.

• A new standalone app could launch with iPhone 17 in 2026.

• DOJ ruling expected by 2025–2026 may reshape default search rules on iPhones.

🧠 Meta’s $1.5 Billion Offers: Rejected!

Meta is desperate for top AI talent. Mark Zuckerberg reportedly offered billion-dollar packages to elite engineers, but some said "no thanks."

📰 What’s New?
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg offered $1B+ pay packages to AI experts like Andrew Tulloch (Thinking Machines Lab co-founder), who rejected it to stay independent.

Other reported offers: $200-500M for Tulloch’s team, $300M for OpenAI researchers, $200M for ex-Apple AI head Ruoming Pang.

Even a $125M offer to Matt Deitke was later doubled.

🚨 Why It Matters:

• The AI talent war is real; only a few dozen researchers can build frontier models.

• Meta’s offers reflect pressure after its LLaMA 4 model underperformed.

• Thinking Machines Lab, funded with $2B, chose independence over big paydays.

• Meta risks spending billions without breakthroughs if top talent declines.

⏭️ What’s Next?

• Meta launched a Superintelligence Lab led by Shengjia Zhao (ChatGPT co-creator).

• Thinking Machines Lab is growing fast with products in development.

• Debate over researcher independence and AI ethics is heating up.

💰 OpenAI’s $8.3B Raise: Eyes on GPT-5 and Stargate

OpenAI just raised $8.3B – one of the largest private rounds in tech history.

Its $300B valuation cements its place as a global AI leader.

📰 What’s New?
Led by Dragoneer ($2.8B), the round included Blackstone, TPG, and T. Rowe Price. Demand was five times oversubscribed.

OpenAI now earns $13B/year and has over 700M weekly ChatGPT users.

The raise is part of a planned $40B war chest to fund massive infrastructure including the $500B "Stargate" data center project.

🚨 Why It Matters:

• $300B valuation puts OpenAI among the world’s most valuable private tech companies.

• Funding accelerates GPT-5 (launching August 2025) and massive global compute builds.

• Stargate will create over 100,000 jobs and house 100K+ Nvidia GPUs.

• IPO hints are strong – but require a restructure and Microsoft’s approval.

⏭️ What’s Next?

• GPT-5 launch expected August 2025.

• Stargate data centers expanding across US, Norway, UAE, and more.

• Competitors like Anthropic, xAI, and Google are rushing to match pace.

🚨 Quick L8R Summary

• 🍎 Apple is secretly building its own “Answer Engine” to replace Google search on iPhones. A new AKI team is working on it, and Apple might buy Perplexity AI for $14B.

• 🧠 Meta offered insane $1.5B+ packages to top AI engineers — but they rejected it! Independent labs like Thinking Machines are becoming the new favorites.

• 💰 OpenAI raised $8.3B at a $300B valuation. GPT-5 launches in August 2025, and the massive Stargate data center project is underway.
