Sign Up | Collaborate with us Welcome back! Apple registered genai.apple.com and left it blank. That empty page is its own kind of announcement with WWDC two weeks away. The model behind Grok tripled in size.
Goldman's CEO took to the New York Times to calm the AI job fears his own economists helped start. And McKinsey is rethinking how it bills now that AI does in an afternoon what makes them consultants. In today's Generative AI Newsletter: Apple: What is Apple cooking at genai.apple.com, and why is the page still blank?
What does that get you?
GenAI Works …Apple? Apple registered genai.apple.com and the page does not load yet. WWDC starts June 8 and Apple promised AI news across iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 . The top selling phone maker already has an Apple Intelligence page. This leaves the possibilities open, but people are expecting one of two things.
Either Apple thinks everyone mistrusts Apple Intelligence name so badly it needs rebranding. Or Apple is keeping them both but each has different features. The expected star is a rebuilt Siri you can actually go back and forth with. On-screen awareness is also on the list plus live captions on video and it can read nutrition labels and business cards.
Apple has spent two years talking about AI more than shipping it. We’re excited to see what they’ve got. New partnership between GenAI Works and Oracle. The company is now raising its next round.
Oracle joined GenAI Works in April 2026 to grow brand recognition through the creator network. A joint hackathon is also in the works. That's one of 300+ clients, including Google, IBM and Nvidia, inside a 14M+ AI community. The company behind those relationships grew revenue from $1M in 2024 to $2.5M in 2025. 2.5x in one year.
GenAI Works has opened a new crowdfunding round. Investments start from only $1,000. Commit by July 1 for up to 25% bonus shares. Invest today The model behind Grok just tripled in size Elon Musk says xAI finished training the next Grok foundation model. It is roughly three times the size of the one serving Grok today and it runs on Nvidia's newer Blackwell chips.
Btw, the biggest gains are in coding, which is exactly where xAI has been losing. It shipped Grok Build at $300 a month earlier this month and told its own team to match Claude Code ASAP. Looks like we’re 2-3 weeks away from something big. Triple the parameters usually buys a real step up on performance. The next few weeks show whether that is enough for us to pay more than what Claude Max costs.
Goldman's CEO says the AI job panic is overblown David Solomon used a New York Times essay this week to tell everyone to calm down about AI and jobs. His argument is that AI clears repetitive work. Back in April, Goldman's own economists counted around 16,000 US jobs erased every month, with entry-level and Gen Z workers hit hardest. Solomon even admits early-career roles in finance are declining.
WDYT? Is it overblown or are we actually in crisis mode? McKinsey rethinks it’s pricing because of AI The world’s most elite management consulting firm (with an estimated $17.8 billion in annual revenue) is moving off the billable hour because of AI. Michael Birshan, who runs the firm in the UK, Ireland and Israel, told Financial News, "We're doing more performance-based arrangements with our clients." About a quarter of McKinsey's global fees now ride on outcome-based pricing, where it gets paid on whether the advice actually works. The reason is sitting on every consultant's laptop. McKinsey put its in-house AI, Lilli, across the firm back in 2023. Staff now run more than 500,000 prompts a month.
Up to 30% time savings on the research and synthesis that used to fill those hours. When a deck that once took three weeks comes together in three days, you cannot keep selling the three weeks. Outcome pricing also loads the risk onto McKinsey, which only pays off if it can prove its work moved the numbers. (Deloitte is already hiring to audit exactly that.) McKinsey is repricing before its clients do the math themselves. Tool of the Day: Hyperbound Hyperbound is an AI sales roleplay platform.
Describe your ideal buyer and it builds a talking AI version of that person in under 20 minutes, loaded with the objections and attitude your reps hit on real calls. They practice cold calls, discovery, objection handling and closing against the bot, then get a scorecard telling them what to say differently. Try this yourself: Go to hyperbound.ai and create an account. Open the public roleplay to talk to an AI buyer.
Build your own bot by pasting in a short description of your ideal customer. Run a cold call or discovery roleplay out loud, then read the scorecard it hands back.
