The idea that all exponentials eventually become sigmoids might not be necessarily true for AI. There are several examples of exponentials that don't end up becoming sigmoids (or haven't yet), for example, the decline in birth rates or solar power deployment. Things that are currently happening are more likely to continue happening than not. AI is unlikely to stop progressing on all fronts anytime soon.

How AI Is Reshaping Cloud Security
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.
Ouster's new Rev8 sensor family fuses color directly into every point of data, making it the first LIDAR with native color. The flagship model of the Rev8 family, the OS1 Max, has a detection range of up to 200 meters at 10% reflectivity, and up to 500 meters under optimal conditions. The sensor can handle lighting conditions from near-total darkness to intense direct sunlight. Early adopters of Ouster's technology include Google, Volvo, Skydio, PlusAI, and Seegrid.
Figure AI claims that its humanoid robots can now run full eight-hour shifts autonomously. The company's Helix-02 system allows humanoid robots to walk, manipulate objects, balance, and coordinate movement continuously using onboard sensors. It supports multi-robot collaboration. The unified neural network combines vision, touch, proprioception, and whole-body control into a single learning system designed for long-horizon tasks in dynamic environments. It enables robots to complete multi-minute tasks without resets or human intervention.

/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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
