Apple, Microsoft AI strategies put to the test as AI cost surge debate grows

Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference runs June 8 to 12 and is expected to highlight on-device AI backed by its chip design experience. Microsoft is expected to unveil more in-house models at its June 2 to 3 Build conference as it leans less on OpenAI. Companies are also voicing growing concern over rising AI costs.

Amazon to sell \'Alexa for Shopping\' technology to other retailers
Amazon will sell its AI shopping technology to other retailers, offering the architecture, starter code and operating experience behind “Alexa for Shopping.” The service is designed to let retailers build AI shopping tools tailored to their online stores, product catalogues and brands. Amazon said retailers could launch their own services within 60 days. The offering will be delivered through AWS, which Amazon said could ease data-sharing concerns. Kate Spade is already a customer.

AI agents drive expansion of software ecosystems built for AI, not humans
As AI agents spread, software designed for use by AI rather than people is expanding. Companies are moving toward headless software that lets agents access core functions through APIs and MCP without a user interface. Approaches differ, with Salesforce and ServiceNow opening platforms to third-party agents while SAP focuses on its own. The shift is emerging as a variable in enterprise software competition, alongside growing demand for forward-deployed engineers supporting AI adoption.
