This is the best summary I could come up with:
"Now, [Altman] has fulfilled a longtime goal by striking a deal with Apple to use OpenAI’s conversational artificial intelligence in its products, which could be worth billions of dollars to the startup if it goes well," according to The Information's source.
Microsoft has committed $13 billion to OpenAI in exchange for a cut of its profits and the use of its technology in the former's enterprise and consumer products.
For example, Apple has been using OpenAI's API to create proofs of concept, like a version of Siri that is able to respond to questions outside its usual scope.
However, the report says that if Apple does that, it will make it clear when it's referring to a third party like OpenAI, kind of like how the user is notified when a query results in a Google search.
It's possible Apple could offer users a choice of AI chatbot provider, just like it does with search engines or default browsers.
The Apple deal is one of the many wins the report says help solidify the position of Altman within OpenAI, even after he faced an attempted ouster a while back.
