❌ OpenAI winds down Sora to prioritize ‘Spud’

OpenAI just axed its Sora AI video generator to free up compute for Spud, the company's next major model that Sam Altman says will be ready in weeks, with the company continuing to shift priorities and roles in the race against Anthropic. Altman reportedly told staff OAI would wind down all video products, including its mobile app and API, with employees calling Sora a “drag” on resources.

88% resolved. 22% stayed loyal. What went wrong?

That's the AI paradox hiding in your CX stack. Tickets close. Customers leave. And most teams don't see it coming because they're measuring the wrong things.

Efficiency metrics look great on paper. Handle time down. Containment rate up. But customer loyalty? That's a different story — and it's one your current dashboards probably aren't telling you.

Gladly's 2026 Customer Expectations Report surveyed thousands of real consumers to find out exactly where AI-powered service breaks trust, and what separates the platforms that drive retention from the ones that quietly erode it.

If you're architecting the CX stack, this is the data you need to build it right. Not just fast. Not just cheap. Built to last.

📱 Apple’s standalone Siri app, chatbot for iOS 27

Apple is reportedly testing a standalone Siri app alongside a new "Ask Siri" chatbot experience, according to Bloomberg insider Mark Gurman — with both slated to debut with its iOS 27 system at WWDC in June. Gurman said Siri will get its own dedicated app for the first time, along with a redesigned interface that lets users type or speak requests.

🤖 Brett Adcock’s $100M stealth AI device startup

Figure AI founder Brett Adcock just launched Hark, a new AI startup that aims to create a “new interface to AGI” via personalized AI paired with dedicated hardware. Hark spent 8 months in stealth, with Adcock putting $100M of his own money in the startup, targeting what he calls the most advanced personal AI ever built.

🦾 Arm Released its First Ever In-House Chip

For over 35 years, U.K.-based Arm Holdings has licensed its instruction sets to the world’s biggest chipmakers and collected royalties on every processor made with its designs. Now, it’s making its own. The company unveiled its first in-house physical silicon chip with Meta as the first customer to sign up for the processing unit.

🗺️ Ads Are Coming to Apple Maps

New ad opportunity is dropping. Apple is going to begin allowing advertisers to target customers on Apple Maps starting in the U.S. and Canada later this summer. The ads will be available to any size business that has a physical location and has already created a business listing on Apple Maps. Users will see the ads appear next to relevant search results.
