OpenAI may be preparing legal action against Apple as it has failed to see the expected benefits from their two-year-old partnership. The startup has enlisted an outside legal firm to help with the situation. OpenAI had believed that the partnership would coax more users into subscribing to its services and had expected deeper integration into Apple's app ecosystem. It claims that Apple hasn't made an honest effort within the partnership. Apple is set to open up its platform to rival providers later this year.
Netflix's INKubator is an artist-led animation incubator that provides creators with an artist-focused environment to experiment in. It allows artists to explore how new tools and workflows can be leveraged to enhance their storytelling capabilities alongside traditional animation creative processes. The studio launched quietly in March. It will focus on creating animated shorts and specials using experimental GenAI-native production pipelines.

/goal is becoming a primitive for coding agents. The feature gives coding workers jobs with a defined done state. With /goal, users write down what 'done' looks like, and agents work towards it until it gets there. The feature appeared in OpenAI's Codex CLI a few weeks ago, and Claude Code just added it this week.
fate is a data client for React that combines view composition, normalized caching, data masking, Async React features, and type-safe data fetching. It is designed to make data fetching and state management in React applications more composable, declarative, and predictable. The framework is just JavaScript and has a minimal API and no DSL. fate helps developers avoid overfetching, stop passing unnecessary data down the tree, and eliminate boilerplate types secreted solely for passing server data to child components.
Memory prices could move from 15% to 40% of the bill of materials for Apple devices. Apple operates at an enormous scale, and each of its products consumes some memory. When dealing with this kind of scale, there's usually a couple of years of lead time. The spike in demand for memory has disrupted this pipeline. Apple still has a lot of room to negotiate price, and the whole situation could end up with Apple gaining a lot of market share.
Security researchers claim to have discovered a way to circumvent Apple's security technology by using techniques they discovered while testing an early version of Anthropic's Mythos AI model in April. Their privilege escalation exploit links together two bugs and a handful of methods to gain unauthorized access. Apple is currently reviewing the researchers' findings. The attack required human cybersecurity expertise and could not have been pulled off by Mythos alone. The researchers plan to release details of the attack once Apple has patched the underlying issues.

Apple is exploring ways to incorporate AI agents into the App Store while still adhering to its privacy and security standards. AI agents can take complex actions on behalf of users, which can be an issue for Apple's strict regulations, which are designed to prevent apps from spreading malware, avoiding App Store fees, and committing other misbehavior. Providing better support for agents will help Apple protect a revenue stream while providing key privacy and security guarantees to users.

Fervo Energy is building a commercial geothermal plant in Utah and is planning others across the West. Tech companies are hunting across the country for energy to fuel the AI boom, powering tens of billions of dollars into solar energy, batteries, natural gas power plants, and new kinds of nuclear power plants. Geothermal energy can produce electricity without any planet-warming emissions while operating 24 hours a day. Fervo raised $1.89 billion in an initial public offering this week, a real signal of confidence in the industry.
Vada Space Industries, a private space company, has announced a significant new collaboration with the United Therapeutics Corporation to explore the use of microgravity to develop improved treatments for rare lung disease. The companies plan to use microgravity's influence on the structure and crystallization properties of therapeutic compounds to improve their stability and delivery. This is the first time a large, publicly traded company is using capital from its own balance sheet to build and produce a product in microgravity. Up to now, NASA has subsidized much of the research into the impact of microgravity on drug development.
Most teams assumed off-the-shelf MCP would replace the need for a context layer. It hasn't. MCP defines how tools talk — not what they know. Glean's benchmark tested both head-to-head: off-the-shelf MCP used 30% more tokens, and Glean was preferred 2.5x on agentic tasks. An enterprise knowledge graph changes what your AI can do.Read the evaluation from our recent article
Anthropic is leading in spend despite a higher unit price, while Google leads in volume. Open source models are gaining traction, but there is no loyalty to specific labs. OpenAI's spend share is growing quickly after its recent model update. Agentic workloads are carrying 59% of all token volume.
The Notion Developer Platform enables developers to write code to sync any data and build any agent tool. It supports all popular agents and custom agents. Developers can trigger Notion workflows from anywhere and use Notion Agents in any app. Notion has created a collection of agents from companies like Ramp, Clay, and Vercel for anyone to use.
Safari and Firefox change how some sites are rendered based on the domain. Sites like TikTok, Netflix, and Instagram get special treatment. This happens because these browsers are playing catch-up when it comes to Chrome feature updates, and this means using quirks and workarounds until they reach feature parity. The resulting loop keeps Chrome dominant as users switch to Chrome for a better experience.
Video streaming reshaped how operators planned capacity as people started caring about downstream speed. AI is now changing upload needs. AI use is generating upstream traffic that didn't exist at scale just a few years ago. Cloud sync has become the dominant upstream category. The old asymmetric broadband model of fat downstream and thin upstream was engineered for passive consumption - that model is finished.

Googlebooks are designed from the ground up with Gemini intelligence. Wiggling the cursor on a Googlebook activates a full-screen Gemini experience. The AI can view screen content to make contextual suggestions, and it can pull in data from multiple apps. Googlebook devices will run Android and have access to the Play Store. Most manufacturers that make Chromebooks will also offer Googlebooks when they launch.
Google is expected to make several AI-related announcements at its I/O conference next week. App automation will be a major element of Android going forward. Gemini will power several new convenience features, including a custom widget feature. Almost everything new will arrive via Play Services, app updates, or on specific devices through partnerships rather than as a part of Android 17, which is slated to launch in June.
Starship Version 3, taller and more powerful than previous iterations, comes with numerous upgrades, including higher thrust, more efficient Raptor engines, a new reusable lattice-like structure at the top of the booster for hot staging, and three modified grid fins to help bring the first stage back to Earth for recovery and reuse. This version should be capable of in-orbit refueling. At a height of 408 feet, the rocket's upcoming flight (date yet to be determined) will mark the first liftoff from a new launch pad at Starbase.
Google is in talks with SpaceX and other rocket-launch companies for a rocket launch deal. Last year, Google announced Project Suncatcher, a moonshot initiative aimed at launching orbital data centers. Many industry leaders see orbit computing as a solution to the limitations of Earthbound data centers. SpaceX is also looking to launch orbital data centers. The speculative technology was the center of SpaceX's pitch to investors ahead of its planned IPO.
