Elon Musk takes Apple and OpenAI to court over AI monopoly

♨️News –  Elon Musk’s X and xAI have taken Apple and OpenAI to court, accusing them of colluding to shut out competition in artificial intelligence. The lawsuit targets Apple’s deal with OpenAI, which brings ChatGPT into Apple devices, calling it an attempt to protect Apple’s dominance.

👨‍💻Fast facts –

• The lawsuit argues Apple is using OpenAI to strengthen its hold on the smartphone market.

• Musk and OpenAI’s Sam Altman have a history of public clashes and legal disputes.

• Musk previously sued over OpenAI’s move to a for-profit model and later tried to buy the company for $97.4 billion.

• He has also accused Apple’s App Store of unfairly favoring OpenAI over rivals.

• Apple announced its OpenAI partnership in June, with features expected to roll out in December.

🤓OpenTools POV –  This fight is about more than rivalry. Musk is challenging how power is concentrated in the AI ecosystem, raising the stakes for both tech competition and regulation.

NASA and IBM launch AI model to better predict solar flares

☕News – NASA and IBM have unveiled Surya, an AI foundation model built to unlock the mysteries of the sun. Trained on years of solar data, it can model solar activity, predict solar flares more accurately, and offer earlier warnings that could help protect astronauts, satellites, and critical infrastructure on Earth.

👨‍💻Fast facts –

• Surya was trained on nine years of images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.

• The model creates a digital twin of the sun that updates in real time.

• It uses advanced AI architecture to process massive high-resolution datasets.

• Early tests showed a 16 percent improvement in flare prediction accuracy.

• Surya can give up to two hours of advance warning compared to one hour in traditional models.

🤓OpenTools POV –  Surya is more than a step forward in space science. It is an example of how foundation models can handle vast, complex datasets and deliver insights that reshape both research and real-world safety.
