China's DeepSeek is on the verge of releasing its V4 multimodal model — capable of generating text, images, and video — while reportedly denying early optimization access to Nvidia and AMD, instead granting it exclusively to domestic chipmakers Huawei and Cambricon ahead of China's annual parliamentary sessions.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple will unveil a modernized 'Core AI' framework at WWDC 2026, replacing the decade-old Core ML to help developers integrate modern AI models into apps across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.

OpenAI published a blog post outlining its agreement with the Department of Defense, maintaining red lines against mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons, even as CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the deal was rushed and generated significant backlash — including Anthropic's Claude surpassing ChatGPT in the App Store.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth formally designated Anthropic a 'supply chain risk to national security,' banning Pentagon contractors from using Claude after the AI company refused to allow unrestricted military use of its technology for autonomous lethal weapons and mass surveillance.

The US military relied on Anthropic's Claude AI for intelligence assessments and target identification during Saturday's strikes on Iran, even as President Trump had just ordered federal agencies to immediately cease using the tool — exposing a stark contradiction at the heart of Washington's AI policy.
