FACT OF THE DAY
🤔 Gender-neutral Siri? Apparently, If you ask Siri if it’s male or female, it will reply: “I don’t have a gender,” and if you then ask why she has a female voice, it will reply: ”Unfortunately, this is the only voice I have at the moment.”
STOCK MARKETS
🩸 Stocks rebounded from Wednesday’s bloodbath, with Tesla stealing the show on a strong earnings release. The EV manufacturer had its best single-day returns since 2013, posting a Q3 profit of $2.2B (17% increase) with revenues at $25.18B (8% increase) and vehicle deliveries hit 462,890 (6.4% increase).

CHATBOTS
Our Report: If rumors are to be believed, OpenAI is planning to launch its next AI model, the successor to GPT-4, codenamed Orion, in December (aptly coinciding with the second anniversary of ChatGPT), something which some believe CEO, Sam Altman, has also confirmed with his cryptic post on X: “Excited for the winter constellations to rise soon” (Orion is a winter constellation in the Northern Hemisphere).
🔑 Key Points:
Unlike previous releases—including the recent releases of GPT-4o and o1—OpenAI will (reportedly) release “Orion” (or will it become GPT-5?) gradually, to a few trusted partners before they release it to the public.
Engineers inside Microsoft (OpenAI’s main partner for the deployment of its AI models) are apparently preparing to host Orion on their public cloud platform—Azure—and are expecting to receive access to it, as early as November.
Rumored to be 100x more powerful than GPT-4, Orion has been trained on o1 synthetic data, and OpenAI’s end goal is to combine all models to build an even more powerful, model, capable of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
🤔 Why you should care: The release of “Orion” comes at a crucial time for OpenAI, having just secured a historic $6.6B in funding with a valuation of $157B and a plan to restructure as a for-profit entity, investors will be expecting big things.
What do we think: Is Orion/GPT-5 coming in December? |

TOGETHER WITH INNOVATING WITH AI
The AI consulting market is about to grow by a factor of 8X – from $6.9B now, to $54.7B in 2032.
But how does an AI enthusiast become an AI consultant?
How well you answer that question makes the difference between just “having AI ideas” and being handsomely compensated for your contribution to an organization’s AI transformation.
Thankfully, you don’t have to go it alone – our friends at Innovating with AI have welcomed 300 new students into The AI Consultancy Project, their new program that trains you to build a business as an AI consultant.
Some of the highlights current students are excited about:
The tools and frameworks to find clients and deliver top-notch services
A 6-month plan to build a 6-figure AI consulting business
Students getting their first AI client in as little as 3 days
And, as a reader of AI Tool Report, you get early access to the next enrollment cycle.

SECURITY
Our Report: Apple is about to debut its private AI cloud next week—called Private Cloud Compute (PCC), which will power the more compute-intensive Apple Intelligence requests—and has invited security researchers to try and expose vulnerabilities that could compromise its security, as an extension of its existing bug bounty.
🔑 Key Points:
Apple designed its PCC (built on Apple’s own AI chips and new OS) so that its security and privacy guarantees are enforceable, and wants these security researchers to verify those guarantees, independently.
It will pay anyone who finds and reports vulnerabilities with the system anything from $50K to the maximum bug bounty amount, $1M, depending on the impact the exploit could have on the PCC.
For instance, it could give a security researcher up to $250K if they (privately) report vulnerabilities capable of extracting sensitive user information or prompts submitted to the PCC.
🤔 Why you should care: The extension of its existing bug bounty program—which gives security researchers rewards for finding and reporting issues and vulnerabilities that could compromise a user device or account—comes as Apple gears itself up to release the first set of AI features (as part of the iOS 18.1 update) next week, to the public.

Friday’s Prompt: How to be an IT architect using ChatGPT
Type this prompt into ChatGPT:
I want you to be an IT Architect. I will provide some details about the functionality of an application or other digital product, and it will be your job to come up with ways to integrate it into the IT landscape. This could involve analyzing business requirements, performing a gap analysis and mapping the functionality of the new system to the existing IT landscape. Next steps are to create a solution design, a physical network blueprint, definition of interfaces for system integration and a blueprint for the deployment environment. My first task is "I need help to integrate a CMS system."
Results: After typing this prompt, you will get a design and blueprint for integrating your CMS into your existing IT landscape.

LAW
After News Corp slapped AI search engine, Perplexity, with a lawsuit over its use of its copyrighted content, earlier this week, Perplexity has come back fighting, issuing a scathing response.
It argued that News Corp, and other outlets, “prefer to live in a world where no one can do anything with publicly reported facts, without paying a toll,” and thinks the lawsuit is “shortsighted, unnecessary, and self-defeating.”
But News Corp is standing strong, and although would “rather woo than sue,” feels it “must challenge the content kleptocracy,” for the sake of “our journalists, our writers, and our company.”

ANIMAL WELFARE
European scientists have developed an AI algorithm that can analyze and interpret pig sounds and alert farmers if they detect any negative emotions to help them make better decisions about their pig's welfare.
The scientists recorded pigs in different scenarios—like in play, in isolation, or in competition for food—and the algorithm analyzed these and established which grunts and oinks revealed positive or negative emotions.
They found that short grunts were positive and long grunts negative and established that pigs kept outdoors, with the ability to roam and dig, were more positive than ones kept in traditional pig pens.
