Apple shipped a Gemini-powered Siri at WWDC. The real story: iOS 27 lets you pick the AI behind it. Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, your call. First time your phone's assistant is a setting, not a default. Catch: iPhone 17 Pro only, ships this fall.

[The AI Edge @Chill1022]

Apple's WWDC is today, 1 PM ET. Expected headline: Siri rebuilt on Google's Gemini, reportedly ~$1B a year. The part that matters: iOS 27 may let you pick Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT as your phone's AI. Choose for fit, not brand.

Anthropic just closed $65B at a $965B valuation. Largest private round ever, and it just passed OpenAI as the most valuable AI company on earth.

Four months ago it was worth $380B. Run rate: $47B.

Google I/O is in 9 hours.

The new Gemini is expected to land at GPT-5.5 level and BEHIND Claude Mythos.

So why does it still matter? Three billion Android devices.

Distribution > model gap. Today is the day Google finds out if that bet works.

PitchBook just confirmed it: AI startups are now ~50% of US VC market value.

Half the money chases one category. The other half is quietly being repriced.

If your weekly workflow does not have an AI agent in it by Q3, you are the trade.

The AI Edge, Edition 22 drops today.

Yesterday Alibaba flipped a switch.

4 billion products on Taobao now answer to one AI agent. Virtual try-ons, 30-day price tracking, agent-completed orders, agent-managed returns.

Keyword search is dead. Conversational shopping is the next default.

Todays edition unpacks it:

AWS just turned AI agents into paying customers.

Bedrock AgentCore Payments lets autonomous agents spend USDC on APIs, MCP servers, and content in 200ms via the x402 protocol.

The web has a new payment layer. The only customers are machines.

Todays edition.

Anthropic just took over ALL of xAI's Colossus 1.

300 MW. 220,000 GPUs. Claude Code limits doubled.

Translation: Musk sold his moat for cash because not even xAI has enough compute.

The most expensive ceasefire in AI history.

Claude Opus 4.7 just dropped. 87.6% on SWE-bench. 3x vision resolution. Same sticker price as 4.6.
