👀 Why Apple still hasn't cracked AI LINK
  • A new report suggests Apple accelerated its artificial intelligence work after ChatGPT's arrival, encountering problems when trying to merge new AI code with Siri's existing system.
  • Internal assessments apparently showed Apple's own language models performed less accurately than competitor OpenAI's, leading the company to seek outside partners for enhanced capabilities.
  • Issues like a former AI head's purported lack of urgency and poor communication between development and marketing teams reportedly contributed to Siri's setbacks and affected employee morale.
🔓 Nvidia opens up its chip ecosystem LINK
  • At Computex 2025, Nvidia unveiled "NVLink Fusion," a new initiative permitting third-party CPUs and GPUs to connect with its own hardware inside AI data centers using the NVLink interface.
  • The company's new NVLink Fusion strategy lets businesses create tailored AI infrastructure by combining different processors with Nvidia components, positioning NVLink as core to upcoming AI frameworks.
  • Nvidia also launched "NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton," a new cloud service offering developers widespread access to extensive GPU resources across a global network for AI development.
🤝 Microsoft wants AI ‘agents’ to work together and remember things LINK
  • Microsoft's technology chief announced a vision for AI agents from different companies to work together using common industry standards like the Model Context Protocol.
  • The software corporation is also developing methods to improve the memory of these AI systems, so they can better recall past interactions using structured retrieval augmentation.
  • This initiative for enhanced inter-agent cooperation and improved digital recall aims to create an "agentic web," with more details expected at Microsoft's developer conference.
🛰️ China begins assembling its supercomputer in space LINK
  • China has begun assembling an orbital supercomputer, launching the first twelve satellites capable of processing collected data directly in space rather than on Earth.
  • These initial spacecraft collectively offer five peta operations per second and are part of a planned 2,800-satellite network targeting 1,000 POPS of computational strength.
  • This celestial computing network aims to overcome terrestrial data transmission limitations and reduce energy consumption by utilizing solar power and space-based heat radiation.
🗣️ Apple might finally let you ditch Siri for a smarter assistant LINK
  • European Union regulations could soon compel Apple to let EU users select a default voice assistant other than Siri on their iPhones.
  • This regulatory shift could allow advanced AI assistants, like Google's Gemini or OpenAI's ChatGPT, to replace Siri as the primary voice-activated helper on these gadgets.
  • Meanwhile, the planned upgrade for Siri through Apple Intelligence has faced setbacks, reportedly impacting the timeline for other Apple initiatives and leading to customer lawsuits.
