Apple’s third-party Siri Extensions could lead to an AI App Store.

We knew Apple would let people hook Siri into the chatbot of their choice. But the latest installment of Mark Gurman’s Power On hints at something bigger. The company is “opening Siri and Apple Intelligence to third-party services.” Extensions will have a dedicated App Store section, making it hard to believe Apple will stop at just a couple of chatbots.

A cornerstone of this strategy is the upcoming iOS 27 Extensions feature, which will let users install third-party AI chatbots beyond ChatGPT and run them inside Siri. This feature will have its own dedicated App Store section, effectively creating an AI App Store. It will be a marketplace of sorts for third-party AI integrations.

The music industry has embraced a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about AI.

It’s not just the country music scene that’s quietly embraced AI, artists across genres are using it to experiment with arrangements, demo new songs, and create sample material. But, songwriter Michelle Lewis told Rolling Stone, nobody wants to admit it. And producer Young Guru believes it’s more widespread than anyone realizes:

…it’s become common for hip-hop producers to make funk and soul samples out of AI, rather than license original music or hire musicians. Guru guesses that “more than half” of sample-based hip-hop is being made this way now.

Anthropic’s apparent security lapse yielded details of its next model release.

The name of the new model will be “Mythos,” Fortune reported — and other internal information, like details of an invite-only CEO event, were available in an “unsecured data trove.”

Judge sides with Anthropic to temporarily block the Pentagon’s ban

Judge Lin wrote that ‘punishing Anthropic … is classic illegal First Amendment retaliation.’
