The Elon Musk companies X and xAI are not based in Fort Worth. But they sued Apple and OpenAI there for some reason.

OpenAI on Tuesday unveiled a free web browser that is designed to work closely with the company’s artificial intelligence technologies, including the chatbot ChatGPT. The new browser, called Atlas, is a direct challenge to tech giants like Google, Apple and Microsoft, whose browsers have long dominated the internet.

ChatGPT is quietly turning into an ecosystem, a walled garden where your AI doesn’t just answer questions but remembers, anticipates, and integrates across everything you do online.

Apple shares surged 4.2% as the company nears a $4 trillion valuation, driven by strong iPhone 17 sales and renewed investor confidence amid AI competition.

Developers and creatives looking for greater control and privacy with their AI are increasingly turning to locally run models like OpenAI’s new gpt-oss family of models, which are both lightweight and incredibly functional on end-user hardware.
