BONUS: Apple’s AI Era Starts Now? Meta’s Free AI Agent + OpenAI’s $1M Math Fight
The Neuron: AI ExplainedShow Notes
We’re going LIVE after Apple’s biggest event of the year to break down John Ternus’s first major keynote as CEO and the big question: Is Apple finally entering its AI era?
We’ll unpack what Apple revealed around Siri, Apple Intelligence, and its broader AI strategy, plus what feels different under Ternus.
Then, we’re breaking down a packed day of AI news:
🍎 Apple’s AI era: What the announcements tell us about Apple’s AI strategy. 🧮 OpenAI’s $1M math fight: OpenAI says a massive AI effort made progress on Navier-Stokes, one of mathematics’ Millennium Prize Problems, followed by a fight over credit. 🤖 Meta Muse: Meta launched its personal AI agent with a huge free usage tier. ⚠️ Anthropic’s AI-risk estimate: One Anthropic scientist put the chance of AI causing human extinction above 10. 🔐 Microsoft security: Microsoft patched a record 972 vulnerabilities, including 112 rated critical. 🇺🇸 U.S. vs. Chinese AI labs: U.S. agencies warned that Chinese companies are distilling Western AI systems at an industrial scale. 🎮 Plus, Sam Altman is apparently very excited about an Ocarina of Time remake.

More from The Neuron: AI Explained
Neurosurgeon-scientists Alex Ksendzovsky and Jon Pomeraniec explain how The Biological Computing Company uses living neurons as a research platform for AI. Their team grows roughly 150,000 cells on a 4,096-electrode array, sends in patterns such as handwritten digits, records how the neurons respond, and models useful computational behaviors in software. They say those neuron-inspired techniques are already helping GPU-based video-generation systems run about 5x faster with roughly 80% lower inference cost, while their longer-term work explores robots, world models, and real-time biological compute.
OpenAI just dropped 20+ announcements at DevDay 2026, so... yeah, we have some things to talk about. 😺
Runway co-founder Anastasis Germanidis explains Solaris, an “interface world model” that generates software frame by frame instead of rendering a traditional interface from HTML and CSS.
OpenAI DevDay 2026 is here, and we’re hosting a watch party to watch the keynote LIVE.
Corey and Grant sit down with Mammoth Biosciences co-founder and CEO Dr. Trevor Martin to explain how CRISPR is moving from a laboratory tool toward one-time medicines.
