APPLE PLANS TO OPEN UP SIRI TO RIVAL AI ASSISTANTS IN IOS 27 UPDATE

Apple will let Siri use AI services other than ChatGPT as part of the iOS 27 update. The approach will help Apple generate more revenue from third-party subscriptions through the App Store. It will mean Apple can add more external AI services without entering business discussions. The change is separate from Apple's work with Google to rebuild Siri using Gemini models.

HARNESS DESIGN FOR LONG-RUNNING APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Anthropic engineers overcame limitations of AI like context anxiety and poor self-evaluation by implementing multi-agent architectures, including a GAN-inspired generator-evaluator loop. This system used structured feedback, explicit grading criteria, and contextual handoffs (or later, improved model capabilities) to guide AI during long-running development.

HERE IS NASA'S PLAN FOR NUKING GATEWAY AND SENDING IT TO MARS

NASA announced on Tuesday that it will pause work on a lunar space station and focus instead on building a surface base on the Moon. The agency has spent close to $4.5 billion on developing technology for the Gateway program since its beginning in 2019. There are pieces of the space station undergoing construction and testing in factories around the world. NASA plans to repurpose the core of Gateway, the Power and Propulsion Element, into a nuclear propulsion demo. It will use the nuclear engine in the interplanetary SR-1 mission scheduled before the end of 2028.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CLONE MICE FOR 20 YEARS STRAIGHT?

Two scientists conducted a study over 20 years where they cloned generations of mice to see what would happen. The researchers created a total of 58 generations before the project ended - the mouse cells just wouldn't make clones. This took 30,947 individual attempts due to the low efficiency of cloning technology. There was a steady accumulation of mutations over the generations, and an entire X chromosome was lost at some point between generations 25 and 45, and never regained. The various other chromosomal deletions, inversions, and translocations added to the reasons why the cloning process failed after 58 generations.

STRIPE PROJECTS: PROVISION A PRODUCTION-READY DEV STACK FROM YOUR TERMINAL

Stripe Projects is a new tool in the Stripe CLI that lets users provision real services from the terminal, keep resources in their provider accounts, sync agent-ready credentials safely, and upgrade to paid tiers when needed, without rebuilding their stacks or leaving the terminal. It is designed to make setups repeatable across machines and teammates, and deterministic enough for agents to operate safely. Projects can handle payment without re-entering payment details across provider dashboards for paid tiers. Developers can use it to go from a local repository to a working stack backed by provider accounts they own.
