Apple Weighs Using Outside AI to Power Siri in Major Shift
Watch Bloomberg Businessweek Daily every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Apple Inc. is considering using artificial intelligence technology from Anthropic PBC or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri, sidelining its own in-house models in a potentially blockbuster move aimed at turning around its flailing AI effort.The iPhone maker has talked with both companies about using their large language models for Siri, according to people familiar with the discussions. It has asked them to train versions of their models that could run on Apple’s cloud infrastructure for testing, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.If Apple ultimately moves forward, it would represent a monumental reversal. The company currently powers most of its AI features with homegrown technology that it calls Apple Foundation Models and had been planning a new version of its voice assistant that runs on that technology for 2026. A switch to Anthropic’s Claude or OpenAI’s ChatGPT models for Siri would be an acknowledgment that the company is struggling to compete in generative AI — the most important new technology in decades. Apple already allows ChatGPT to answer web-based search queries in Siri, but the assistant itself is powered by Apple.Today's show features: Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech Mark Gurman on Apple considering using artificial intelligence technology from Anthropic PBC or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri Ed Price, Senior Non-Resident Fellow at New York University and former British trade official on the latest from Ukraine and expectations for ongoing US trade negotiations Trish Damkroger, Chief Product Officer, SVP & General Manger of High Performance Computing and AI of HPE Bloomberg News Congressional Reporter Erik Wasson on the latest tax bill negotiations within the US Senate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ICYMI: A New Era for IPOs
Roaring returns for US IPOs are driving fresh optimism that activity will pick up steam later this year and into 2026, even as worries over geopolitics and President Donald Trump’s tariffs hang over the market. Led by triple-digit-percent increases for Circle Internet Group Inc. and CoreWeave Inc. — two of the year’s five largest initial public offerings on US exchanges — this year’s class of debutantes are trading up by a weighted average of about 53%, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That’s left investors hungry for more, particularly in a year where the S&P 500 Index has struggled to remain in the black. Michael Harris, vice chairman and global head of markets at NYSE examines the health of the IPO market as well as his company's position of strength within the hierarchy of global trading platforms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Ends Trade Talks With Canada, Threatens to Set Tariff
Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. President Donald Trump said he was ending all trade discussions with Canada after claiming the country moved to implement a digital services tax, and threatened to impose a fresh tariff rate within the next week. “Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period,” Trump posted Friday on social media. The Canadian dollar dropped more than 0.5% almost immediately. Canada’s benchmark equity index fell, and the shares of companies that rely on trade across the border, including General Motors Co. and apparel maker Canada Goose Holdings Inc., also took a hit. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office and the country’s finance ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Dozens of countries face a July 9 deadline for Trump’s higher tariffs to kick back into place, and have been engaged in negotiations with the US. That group does not include Canada and Mexico. The president imposed tariffs the US’s North American neighbors earlier this year over fentanyl trafficking and migration concerns and talks with them are being handled on a separate track. Today's show features:- Bloomberg New Senior White House Correspondent Josh Wingrove on the latest US trade deal negotiations- Harold J. Krent, Professor of Law at the Chicago-Kent College of Law on Friday’s Supreme Court decisions- Alli McCartney, managing director of Wealth Management at UBS on the investing outlook for the second half of 2025 amid geopolitical uncertainty- Michael Loeb, founder & CEO of Loeb.nyc on the venture capital landscape and the value of the Uncharted SummitSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
