Apple is working on a ChatGPT alternative — but is it too late?
Apple has been lagging behind in the AI world. As the likes of OpenAI and Google barge on ahead, Apple is looking for new ways to keep up with the crowd, and with a new team brought in, they might have the answer. According to Bloomberg, Apple is now working on an 'AI answers' tool. The details of this remain unclear, but a team has been brought in specifically to develop a stripped-down rival to ChatGPT. Currently, Apple has stayed clear of delving into the world of chatbots. While they have their AI Apple Intelligence tool, they have never introduced a function similar to ChatGPT or Gemini. In the past, the company insisted that this wasn't necessary and instead focused on giving its users access to ChatGPT for that need. Mark Gurman, the author of the Bloomberg article, highlights that the new team from Apple is called Answers, Knowledge, and Information. They are rumoured to be working on an 'answers engine'. In other words, a tool that can respond to questions using information from across the web. It is still unclear if this would be a standalone tool or integrated into one of Apple's existing products. Gurman also noted that Apple is currently advertising for new members of the team. The job adverts focus on experience with search algorithms and engine development. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Apple has ended up surprisingly far behind in the AI mission. While it has launched Apple Intelligence, and brought out updates to the tool since its release, it is lagging far behind. They have no chatbot (which has quickly become the public's favourite AI tool), and, while it has experimented with generative AI, Apple has never quite got a grasp on this area either. The company's original plan seemed to be to piggyback off the OpenAI tools, offering these through Apple devices. However, now Apple seems to be trying to catch up in a fast moving world. Unless it can move quickly, Apple is stuck in a tricky position. Even if it does launch a ChatGPT-like tool on its devices, it will be coming out years after its competitors. By that point, the likes of OpenAI and Google will be working on AI browsers, video tools and other more advanced technologies.

OpenAI Raises USD 8.3 Bn at USD 300 Bn Valuation
Earlier in March, OpenAI had raised USD 2.5 billion and was expected to collect an additional USD 7.5 billion by the year's end. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. OpenAI, the AI company behind ChatGPT, has secured USD 8.3 billion in a fresh funding round, valuing the firm at USD 300 billion, according to The New York Times. The round is part of OpenAI's broader goal of raising USD 40 billion this year and was completed ahead of schedule. Earlier in March, OpenAI had raised USD 2.5 billion and was expected to collect an additional USD 7.5 billion by the year's end. However, increased investor demand allowed the company to finish this stage sooner than planned. The latest funding was led by Dragoneer Investment Group with a USD 2.8 billion investment. Other major participants include Blackstone, TPG, T. Rowe Price, Altimeter Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue Management, D1 Capital Partners, Fidelity Management, Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, and Thrive Capital. Reports indicate that some existing investors received smaller allocations than anticipated to accommodate new strategic backers. The fundraising comes amid significant growth in OpenAI's business performance. The Information estimates the company's annualised revenue at around USD 12 billion, while The New York Times places the figure closer to USD 13 billion. ChatGPT now records over 700 million weekly active users, reflecting its widespread adoption. Projections suggest that OpenAI could achieve USD 20 billion in annualised revenue by the end of 2025. At the same time, the company has revised its projected cash burn for 2025 to USD 8 billion, up from a previous estimate of USD 7 billion. The second stage of the USD 40 billion fundraising is already in motion, with approximately USD 7.5 billion in commitments secured. This includes renewed investments from Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global. SoftBank, which began investing in the company in late 2024, has committed a total of USD 32 billion. OpenAI continues to maintain a close relationship with Microsoft, which has integrated its technology into various products. The company is also exploring new commercial and strategic partnerships, which could lead to updates in its collaboration with Microsoft.

The Insider's Guide to San Francisco's A.I. Boom
What if San Francisco is the new Silicon Valley? San Francisco has had its share of tech companies since the dot-com boom, but the money pouring into artificial intelligence has lately supercharged the city's tech profile. In 2012, when Facebook, one of many Silicon Valley tech giants, went public, San Francisco companies raised $4.9 billion of venture capital year, they raised nearly $35 billion, according to data from the Silicon Valley Institute for Regional Studies. The change is visible. Rents are climbing again. City buses are filling back up. And the face of San Francisco is starting to look younger. Supported by There is one obvious reason that the tech industry's ground zero for big ideas has moved north from Silicon Valley to San Francisco: OpenAI, the company that created the ChatGPT chatbot that started the A.I. craze, has its offices in a neighborhood that people in the tech industry have started calling the Arena. Anthropic, a rival A.I. start-up founded by former OpenAI researchers, is also in San Francisco. And many of the Silicon Valley investors who put money into start-ups have moved up the highway into the city. San Francisco officials, stung by offices that emptied during the pandemic, companies that left town (temporarily, it turned out) and warnings (generally overstated) that the city was on the ropes, have mostly welcomed the newcomers. And there is a sense that the city, led by its new mayor, Daniel Lurie, is ready to turn the page on its pandemic-era woes, even if many housing and drug problems persist. 'It used to be that you built your company in Palo Alto. Investors loved it because there were no distractions,' said Steven Pham, the head of media for Y Combinator, the famed Bay Area start-up incubator. 'Now all the founders want to live in the city. It's where their friends are. It's where the action is.' Here is a cheat sheet to where the tech industry's young A.I. builders are living, working and playing in San Francisco.
