We've got the Bloomberg reporting next.

It is halftime, and this is Bloomberg Tech.

Welcome back to Bloomberg Tech.

It's Friday, but it's the end of a difficult week for technology stocks.

The Nasdaq 100 has fallen into correction territory.

On a technical basis, it has fallen 10% from a recent high.

Then there's some movement as well in cybersecurity stocks.

this one is a little less straightforward cyber security stocks fell after a report that anthropic is testing an ai model that has very advanced cyber capabilities and it sparked some fears that actually this model could go on the offense it could present a cyber threat to some of those names that are down you see on your screen that would provide the defense go out and read about it it's complicated but i'm sure we'll be speaking about it again

Then there's the big news from Bloomberg.

Apple plans to open Siri to outside AI assistance, allowing users to choose their own chatbot.

The Siri overhaul is set to be incorporated in the company's upcoming iOS 27 update.

Bloomberg's Apple and Consumer Tech editor, Mark Gurman, once again.

Broke the story.

This is strategy all over the place, right?

As you know, I just upgraded to iPhone 17 Pro, got the latest iOS.

I've gone back to using Siri.

I'm reading your reporting, and it seems like Apple's latest strategy is to say, whichever chatbot the consumer wants, we'll find a way to integrate it.

Give us the details.

Yeah, they're going a bit agnostic here.

The idea is they want all the different AI platforms to be easily accessible from their devices.
