Apple plans to upgrade its ChatGPT integration in Apple Intelligence to GPT-5 across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26. Until now, the feature has relied on GPT-4o, but the switch to GPT-5 is expected with next month's software updates. Using ChatGPT remains optional, letting users connect Siri, writing tools, and visual recognition features to the new model if they choose. Apple says IP addresses will stay hidden and that OpenAI will not store requests unless users link their OpenAI account. Apple Intelligence is also getting new features, including live translations in FaceTime and system-wide visual search.

OpenAI is offering ChatGPT Enterprise to U.S. government agencies for just one dollar per year. This special version comes with enhanced security and privacy features, but does not include access to the OpenAI API. The deal follows OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic joining a new GSA marketplace for AI software, which acts as a central purchasing platform for federal agencies. According to GSA Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, the token price is intended as a trial with no long-term commitment. Data from government employees will not be used to train OpenAI's models. So far, about 90,000 federal employees are using ChatGPT.

Google is rolling out a new "Guided Learning" feature in the Gemini app, designed to help users break down complex topics step by step. Unlike standard AI answers, Guided Learning uses follow-up questions, interactive explanations, images, videos, and quizzes to deepen understanding. Similar learning tools are already available from OpenAI and Anthropic. The feature is powered by LearnLM, a model optimized specifically for education. According to Google, Guided Learning was developed with input from educators, learning scientists, and students. Teachers can also add Guided Learning links directly into Google Classroom.
