OpenAI cuts prices, Coinbase enables AI agents, Apple reboots Siri
AI price war heats up as agents start trading crypto autonomously
OpenAI is reportedly considering major cuts to ChatGPT and API token prices to counter Anthropic's rate reductions, while developing a desktop "superapp." Coinbase launches "Coinbase for Agents," allowing AI assistants to autonomously trade crypto. Apple unveils rebuilt Siri with on-device AI at WWDC26. Anthropic warns AI could soon design its own successors, calling for a global pause. Security threats include a breach in France's encrypted government messaging app Tchap and a critical VPN flaw that allows authentication bypass, among other vulnerabilities.
- OpenAI cuts API token prices to compete with Anthropic, building a desktop superapp merging ChatGPT, Codex, and Atlas browser

- Apple's iOS 27 debuts rebuilt Siri with on-device AI; macOS 27 ends Intel Mac support; Anthropic warns of AI self-replication risks
Why It Matters
AI is becoming cheaper, more autonomous, and deeply embedded in finance and productivity—but security risks and ethical warnings escalate.
