DataByteGo - Top AI and Data updates
From June 30- July 07, 2025
Summary:This week in AI and data has been anything but quiet. The ecosystem is facing both internal turbulence and external power plays. OpenAI, the poster child of generative AI, is grappling with internal strife and external distractions—from Elon Musk's crypto-inspired confusion to a full-blown company shutdown as Meta lures away its top minds. Meanwhile, Apple is finally waking up to Siri’s shortcomings, eyeing partnerships with OpenAI or Anthropic to modernize its voice assistant. Behind the scenes, a brewing rift threatens the most powerful partnership in AI, and Meta's aggressive push into superintelligence has brought Google and OpenAI alumni under one roof. On the lighter side, people are stress-testing ChatGPT and Claude on vacations and fashion—and while they show promise, they’re not replacing humans just yet. The bottom line: the AI race is accelerating, but the cracks are starting to show.
