Codex Goes Mobile, OpenAI vs Apple’s Fraying Deal, Anthropic Angers Its Developers

Today we’re covering the biggest AI stories of May 15th, 2026. OpenAI rolled out Codex inside the ChatGPT iOS app, letting developers manage long-running AI coding agents from their phone — approving decisions, starting new tasks, and reviewing code changes while the agent grinds away back at the desk, directly competing with Anthropic’s own Dispatch feature that launched in March. Bloomberg reported that OpenAI has enlisted a law firm to explore legal action against Apple over their 2024 ChatGPT-Siri deal, with internal data showing the integration drove far fewer paid signups than expected and Apple now planning to open Siri to Claude and Gemini in iOS 27 — while simultaneously poaching from Apple’s hardware teams. Plus, Anthropic reversed its April ban on third-party agents but replaced it with a monthly credit pool that gives Pro users just $20 in agentic credits — triggering mass subscription cancellations from power users and developers — and today’s community workflow comes from a project manager in Quebec who built a Gantt chart linked directly to his habit tracker, running his personal fitness goals the same way he runs his work projects.
