Claude talks, AI gut-checks, & more (May 28, 2025)

Welcome back to Byte-Sized, your daily dive into what’s moving in AI.

Today, we’ve got talking assistants, Hollywood-grade AI video, and agents doing charity work. Let’s get into it.

🧠 New Powers, Bold Moves

🗣️ Claude Finally Gets a Voice

Anthropic’s Claude now talks back. Its new mobile voice mode lets you hold real-time, natural conversations, complete with five voice personalities and seamless Google Workspace integration. Free users get 20–30 voice messages a month, while paid tiers offer much more. It’s smooth, fast, and leaps ahead of anything Siri ever dreamed of.

🧬 INTUITOR: AI Trains with Confidence, Not Answers

UC Berkeley and Yale researchers unveiled INTUITOR: a new training method where AI learns by trusting its own gut. No correct answers needed. Just internal confidence signals guiding the way. It crushed traditional models on coding tasks and even started reasoning like a human. Training by intuition? Yeah, that’s where we’re headed.

🔀 Meta Splits Its AI Org

Meta just split its AI division in two: one focused on building products like Meta AI, the other laser-focused on developing AGI via the Llama models. The goal? Speed. By narrowing responsibilities, they’re hoping to move faster, smarter, and stay in the race with OpenAI and Google.

🏗️ Infra, Identity & Platforms

💰 Salesforce Buys Informatica for $8B

Salesforce is making it clear: data is the new fuel for autonomous agents. Its $8B acquisition of Informatica gives it a stronger backbone for AI-driven products, especially those focused on real-time orchestration and memory. This is a foundational move.

🌐 WordPress Launches AI Division

WordPress is going full AI. With 650+ AI plugins already in use across its platform, the company just created an official division to focus entirely on AI-powered features. That’s a major shift for a platform powering 43% of the internet.

🔐 Sign In with ChatGPT

OpenAI is now testing a new feature that lets you log into third-party apps using your ChatGPT account…think “Sign in with Google,” but for AI. It's a step toward making ChatGPT your universal digital identity. Devs can start integrating now.
