February 7th - According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple (AAPL.O) is preparing to allow other companies voice-controlled AI applications to integrate with its CarPlay system. This move will allow users to interact with AI chatbots through their in-car interface for the first time. The sources indicated that the company will work to support applications within the CarPlay system over the next few months. This change marks a strategic shift for Apple. Previously, Apple only allowed its own Siri assistant as a voice control option in its popular in-car infotainment system software. With this move, AI vendors such as OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, and Google will be able to release CarPlay versions of their applications that support voice control. However, some limitations remain. Sources say that Apple will not allow users to change the Siri button on CarPlay or the wake word to activate the service. Users will need to open the relevant application to activate third-party voice control functions.According to Fortune, OpenAI’s ChatGPT app’s market share plummeted from 69.1% in January 2025 to 45.3% the following year, while Google’s Gemini chatbot app’s market share climbed from 14.7% to 25.2%.The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that total U.S. oil demand fell 0.7% year-on-year in November, or 140,000 barrels per day, to 20.227 million barrels per day (compared to a 1.9% decline in October).The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that distillate fuel demand rose 3.2% year-over-year in November, or 116,000 barrels per day, to 3.796 million barrels per day (compared to a 1.4% decline in October).The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that U.S. gasoline demand fell 1.7% year-on-year in November, or 152,000 barrels per day, to 8.68 million barrels per day (compared to a 2.0% decline in October).

During Thursday's after-hours trade, it was reported that Twitter's $44 billion take-private plan with Elon Musk is in "serious danger" as a result of Musk's decision to pull back fundraising efforts owing to continuous worries over spam accounts.


After-hours trading for Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) declined by more than 3 percent following the news.d


According to unnamed sources cited by the Washington Post, Musk and his team suspended fundraising efforts for the acquisition after concluding that Twitter's data on spam accounts are unverifiable.


Twitter has stated that it deletes over 1 million spam accounts everyday and believes that bot accounts account for less than 5% of its user base. In an attempt to allay Musk's concerns, the social media behemoth has recently disclosed a plethora of data, but Musk's team remains skeptical and believes "they do not have enough information to analyze Twitter's financial prospects," according to a report citing sources.
