Apple and Anthropic have partnered to build a new version of Xcode that will use Anthropic's Claude Sonnet model to write, edit, and test code. Apple plans to roll out the software internally and hasn't decided if it will launch it publicly. The latest Claude models have been particularly popular for coding tasks.
pipask is a drop-in replacement for pip that performs security checks before installing a package.

Amazon finally launched the first production satellites for its Kuiper broadband network last week. The company has been secretive about the project since it was unveiled in 2019. The designs of the satellites remain unknown, but a fuzzy video released by Amazon on Friday revealed enough to make out their trapezoidal shape. The mass of each Kuiper satellite is estimated to be somewhere between 1,185 and 1,259 pounds.
FutureHouse has launched four AI tools (Crow, Falcon, Owl, and Phoenix) designed to support scientific work. Crow can search scientific literature and answer questions about it, Falcon can conduct deeper literature searches, Owl looks for previous work in a given subject area, and Phoenix uses tools to help plan chemistry experiments. The Eric Schmidt-backed nonprofit aims to build an 'AI scientist' within the next decade. Its tools still make mistakes, which may make scientists wary of endorsing them for serious work.

The company is working with Volvo Trucks and Paccar to develop self-driving trucks for high-volume manufacturing, with plans for a launch in 2027 or earlier.
Aetherflux is a company that aims to harvest solar power in space and beam it back to Earth via laser. It plans to launch a demonstration of its technology in 2026. A solar farm in space would receive sunlight all the time, enabling it to harness more power than on Earth. Aetherflux plans to use infrared lasers to send solar energy from an array of small satellites to a series of small ground stations. The US military might be the first recipient of Aetherflux's space-based power, but the company wants to be a commercially viable operation that can provide clean, affordable power to Americans everywhere.
Hyperparam addresses the lack of a user-friendly, scalable UI for exploring and curating massive datasets in the machine learning ecosystem through a suite of open-source tools that tackle different aspects of data curation. It aims to empower ML practitioners to create the best training datasets for the best models. The tools include Hyparquet, a lightweight, pure-JS library for reading Apache Parquet files directly in the browser; Hyparquet-Writer, which provides a way to write or export data to Parquet format in JavaScript; HighTable, a React-based virtualized table component for viewing extremely large tables in the browser; and Icebird, which extends Hyperparam's reach into data stored in Apache Iceberg format.
Redis 8 is now generally available. It has many new features and more than 30 performance improvements. The release adds eight more data structures and five probabilistic structures to help developers solve their current use cases better and build for the next generation of fast and real-time apps.

Apple VP of Finance Alex Roman allegedly lied to the court to maintain the belief that evidence of internal discussions about a 27% commission fee on some purchases linked to the App Store was real. The company had presented evidence of internal discussions that were tailor-made for litigation instead of what actually happened. Apple has also been accused of other deceptive practices. The accusations may result in punishment for Apple and Roman - the case has been referred to US attorneys, who will investigate whether to pursue criminal contempt proceedings.

The Orb Mini looks like a smartphone, but it has two large sensors on the front to scan users' eyeballs. The data is used to create a unique identifier on the blockchain to verify that users are human. It is still unclear what the ultimate functionality of the Orb Mini will be, but its current main purpose is to verify more people.
Chinese tech company Leapting's AI-controlled robot successfully helped install 10,000 solar modules at its first commercial deployment in Australia. The 2.5-meter-high robotic arm sits on a crawler that can adapt to different terrain and environmental conditions. Its use increased efficiency by three to five times compared to manual operations. The robot will be deployed to another Australian solar farm to start work in May to install around 500,000 panels.

A US federal judge has ruled that Apple must loosen its grip on its App Store and stop collecting a commission on some app sales. Apple was previously ordered to allow apps to provide users with external links to pay developers directly for services to avoid the 30% commission Apple charges. The company instead created a new system that forced apps with external sales to pay a 27% commission to the company and also created pop-up screens that discouraged customers from paying elsewhere. Apple is now restricted from taking commissions from sales outside the App Store and from displaying messages discouraging users from making external purchases. It is being investigated for criminal contempt.
Labor conditions for recent college graduates have deteriorated noticeably in the past few months. Unemployment now stands at an unusually high 5.8%. This could be the signal of short-term economic drag, medium-term changes to the value of a college degree, or long-term changes to the relationship between people and AI. Today's graduates are entering into an uncertain economy where some businesses are so focused on tomorrow's profit margin that they're less willing to hire workers who will take time to learn on the job.

Meta has launched Meta AI, a standalone AI app built on the company's latest Llama 4 model. Its standout feature is the Discover feed, which lets users see how their connections use Meta AI. Users have full control over what gets shared, but opting out of having user data scraped to train Meta's AI is nearly impossible.

Waymo and Toyota have announced a preliminary partnership to explore bringing robotaxi technology to personally-owned vehicles. The partnership could result in Waymo incorporating Toyota's vehicles into its ride-hailing fleet. Waymo has previously worked with many other automakers, but most of these partnerships only resulted in the companies producing modified vehicles for testing or for Waymo to use in its fleets. The company now serves 250,000 paid rides per week through its commercial driverless ride-hailing services in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Austin regions.
