According to Fortune, OpenAI is considering legal action against Apple due to dissatisfaction with the use and commercialization of ChatGPT after its integration into Siri. They believe that the collaboration has not effectively driven user conversion to ChatGPT's paid subscription, which may involve a breach of contractual expectations.Reports indicate that the two parties initially reached an agreement about two years ago, with Apple enhancing Siri's ability to handle complex questions by integrating ChatGPT, while OpenAI expanded user reach through Apple's ecosystem. However, OpenAI has expressed "disappointment" with the current presentation and traffic-driving effect of ChatGPT within Siri.It is reported that OpenAI's legal team has collaborated with external law firms to evaluate various response options, including potential litigation. Meanwhile, the relationship has become strained, and Apple is exploring further collaboration possibilities with OpenAI's competitors.Analysts believe that the core of the dispute lies in the commercial ownership and traffic distribution issues after AI capabilities are embedded in the platform, specifically whether "functionality is embedded but does not lead to subscription conversion" constitutes a substantial breach of commercial terms. Currently, neither party has publicly responded to the litigation matters.

According to Fortune, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared his views at the Sequoia Capital AI Summit, noting significant generational differences in how users of different ages utilize ChatGPT. He stated that older users tend to use ChatGPT as a substitute for Google Search, while those in their twenties and thirties use it as a life advisor, and college students use it as a deeply integrated daily operating system.In the U.S., over one-third of young people aged 18 to 24 frequently use ChatGPT, leveraging its conversational memory feature for emotional advice, workplace negotiations, medical consultations, and even major life decisions. Sequoia Capital made its first investment in OpenAI in 2021, when the company was valued at $140 billion; after significant private equity financing, its current valuation has reached $852 billion.

The latest report released by Bank of America (BofA) indicates that in April, the user growth of Gemini and Claude was robust, while the growth rate of ChatGPT continued to slow down. The report stated: In terms of U.S. web traffic, Google saw a year-on-year increase of 2% to 546 million visits, ChatGPT grew by 30% year-on-year to 34 million visits (equivalent to 6% of Google), Bing decreased by 6% year-on-year to 44 million visits, and Claude increased by 715% year-on-year to 7.1 million visits. In terms of month-on-month growth, Google grew by 1%, ChatGPT grew by 1%, Claude grew by 28%, and Gemini grew by 8%.

OpenAI's recent internal growth targets have not met expectations. CFO Sarah Friar warned that if revenue growth does not keep pace, the company may struggle to fulfill its commitment of approximately $600 billion in computing power procurement, and the board has begun to review the data center investment expansion plans.Reports indicate that ChatGPT user growth, revenue targets, and subscription retention are all under pressure. Despite OpenAI recently completing a $122 billion financing round, the company's management is still discussing long-term capital expenditures and the pace of an IPO. OpenAI has denied that there are significant internal disagreements.

According to WSJ, OpenAI plans to merge ChatGPT, Codex, and its browser into a single desktop "super app" aimed at simplifying the user experience.

After the Trump administration in the United States discontinued the use of Anthropic AI technology products, OpenAI quickly reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy OpenAI models within the Department's secure networks. This event triggered a backlash from OpenAI users, leading to a boycott movement, with 700,000 people canceling their subscriptions and even uninstalling ChatGPT, turning instead to Anthropic's Claude.With significant user support, Anthropic's Claude topped the free download charts in the U.S. app store, while OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini ranked second and third, respectively. Claude had previously experienced an increase in failure rates, which may be related to the significant rise in traffic.

Anthropic is accused of launching a prompt tool for "exporting ChatGPT memory data," helping users transfer historical memory information to its model Claude, which has drawn industry attention.According to public content, the tool allows users to export their memory data from OpenAI's ChatGPT by copying and pasting specific prompts, and then import it into Claude. Related discussions suggest that this move is seen as directly weakening the user stickiness and switching costs that ChatGPT relies on through its "memory function."Market views consider the memory mechanism as an important moat for large model products— the longer users engage, the deeper the model understands their preferences, context, and historical conversations, thereby increasing the migration costs. If third-party tools can facilitate easy data migration, it may change the current user lock-in logic of AI products.Meanwhile, reports also mentioned that Anthropic was previously restricted from use by relevant systems of the U.S. Department of Defense, but the company's popularity and attention have quickly surged, topping some application rankings.Currently, the specific compliance of the aforementioned tool and the platform's response have not been clarified. The industry generally believes that competition among large models has extended from performance comparisons to ecological and data sovereignty aspects, with user data portability potentially becoming a key variable in the next stage.

OpenAI has announced the launch of a new health-focused experience, "ChatGPT Health," where users can voluntarily connect their medical records with health apps like Apple Health and MyFitnessPal to receive personalized suggestions based on their health data.This feature aims to assist users in understanding test results, preparing for medical visits, and optimizing diet and exercise plans, while storing health data in a separate space to ensure privacy and security. A waitlist is now open, with initial access limited to a small number of users for testing.

According to The Information, OpenAI is negotiating with Amazon to raise at least $10 billion from Amazon and use Amazon's AI chips. One insider said this investment would push OpenAI's valuation beyond $500 billion.It is reported that Amazon and OpenAI have explored commercial collaboration opportunities. OpenAI aims to turn ChatGPT into a shopping hub and plans to earn commissions by directing customers to retailers. It is still unclear whether the collaboration between Amazon and OpenAI will involve such features of ChatGPT or arrangements related to the AI shopping capabilities that Amazon is developing for its own applications. Insiders indicated that OpenAI also hopes to sell an enterprise version of ChatGPT to Amazon.

According to Decrypt, a woman in San Jose, California, realized she had fallen victim to a cryptocurrency "pig butchering" scam after losing nearly $1 million, by asking ChatGPT.The victim, Margaret Loke, met a man claiming to be "Ed" on Facebook in May this year, who presented himself as a wealthy businessman and gradually built an emotional connection. "Ed" then guided her to invest in cryptocurrency, leading Loke to withdraw over $490,000 from her retirement account and transfer an additional $300,000 through a home equity loan.When the so-called cryptocurrency account suddenly "froze," and "Ed" demanded an extra $1 million to unfreeze the funds, Loke described the situation to ChatGPT. ChatGPT responded that the setup matched known scam patterns and advised her to report it to the police. Investigations revealed that the funds were transferred to a Malaysian bank account and withdrawn by the scammers.

According to Decrypt, U.S. District Judge Ona T. Wang rejected OpenAI's request to limit evidence disclosure, ordering the company to provide approximately 20 million de-identified ChatGPT user conversation records to The New York Times. The court found that this data is crucial for proving whether ChatGPT has copied content protected by copyright from The New York Times and is "proportional to the needs of the case."Although OpenAI expressed concerns about user privacy, the judge noted that privacy considerations "are just one factor in the proportionality analysis and cannot dominate when there is a clear relevance and minimal burden."
