Siri Rebuilt, Vendor Lock-In Broken, and the Rising Cost of AI

Claire and Peter break down today’s biggest shifts in AI across platforms, policy, and the real economy. Apple is reportedly set to relaunch Siri as a chat-style AI platform with personal context and third-party extensions—potentially even allowing developers to choose external models—raising the bar for consent, governance, and compliance. In Washington, a new U.S. memo pushes agencies away from reliance on a single AI vendor, accelerating the move toward interoperable, multi-model architectures. Meanwhile Nvidia locks in next-gen high-bandwidth memory as Korea eyes gigawatt-scale AI cloud ambitions, even as markets wobble and higher rates force CFOs to reprice compute. On the workforce front, Walmart expands AI upskilling with OpenAI certifications, while Thailand discusses an automation tax. Plus: Meta tests a premium-priced agent, Moonshot AI targets a massive valuation on strong China ARR, and Anthropic warns about recursive AI risks as AI-generated code becomes the norm—making security, provenance, and auditability table stakes.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
