Apple is reportedly planning to allow CarPlay users to access third-party AI chatbots, potentially including options from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, according to a report by Bloomberg. This update would enable voice-controlled access to these AI applications directly through the car's infotainment system, moving away from the current requirement of using an iPhone to interact with such services.
The potential integration of AI chatbots into CarPlay was reported by The Verge, citing Bloomberg's findings. Currently, users seeking to utilize third-party chatbots in their vehicles must do so via their iPhones. The rumored update suggests a shift towards a more integrated and hands-free experience.
In other tech news, the elusive "Trump Phone" continues to generate interest. The Verge reported that the publication had received a response from Trump Mobile executives regarding the phone's status. The final design of the T1 Phone is nearing completion, though it will reportedly lose the T1 logo.
Meanwhile, the AI landscape is witnessing rapid advancements and heightened competition. VentureBeat reported on the release of OpenAI's GPT-5.3-Codex, described as the company's most capable coding agent to date. This launch coincided with Anthropic's unveiling of its upgraded Claude Opus 4.6 model, marking the beginning of what industry observers are calling the "AI coding wars." The two companies are also set to air competing Super Bowl advertisements, further intensifying the rivalry.
VentureBeat also highlighted a new technique developed by researchers from Stanford, Nvidia, and Together AI, called Test-Time Training to Discover (TTT-Discover). This method allows models to continue training during the inference process, resulting in significant performance improvements. The researchers managed to optimize a critical GPU kernel to run twice as fast as the previous state-of-the-art, which was written by human experts.
Finally, a recent report detailed a sophisticated attack chain that can compromise cloud environments through a seemingly innocuous LinkedIn message. According to VentureBeat, the attack, known as the identity and access management (IAM) pivot, involves a developer receiving a message from a recruiter, installing a malicious package, and subsequently having their cloud credentials exfiltrated. The attack can lead to complete cloud environment access within minutes.
