The WWDC 2026 keynote is June 8 at 10am Pacific. The credibility test for Apple Intelligence is whether the rebuilt Siri lands in the iOS 27 developer beta that day, not 'rolling out throughout the year.' The leaks say a custom 1.2 trillion parameter Gemini model is doing the cloud reasoning under the hood for roughly $1 billion a year.
Foxconn and Intel announced a strategic collaboration on next-generation rack-scale AI infrastructure at Computex 2026, combining Xeon CPUs and Intel's AI accelerator line with Foxconn's manufacturing and systems integration. No timeline, no customers, no dollar figure.
The 'Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security' executive order asks AI labs to voluntarily hand over frontier models for up to 30 days of government review before release. DHS, Treasury, NIST, and the National Cyber Director's office have 60 days to define which models qualify.
C.C. Wei said on Wednesday that AI chip demand from Nvidia, AMD, and Apple continues to outrun TSMC's capacity, and the company is expanding fabs in Taiwan, the US, and Japan to catch up. Leading-edge capacity remains the bottleneck on AI compute.
The Claude Partner Network's new Services Track formalizes consulting partners into Select, Preferred, and Global Premier tiers with hard numerical floors on staff, deployments, and public stories. Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte, and KPMG are all in scope.
Brussels' Digital Omnibus on AI delays the high-risk compliance regime to December 2027 while keeping a new prohibition on AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery and CSAM on a December 2026 enforcement date.
Anthropic just formalized a three-tier consulting ladder with a top rung that requires 1,000 certified practitioners. Accenture is training 30,000, Cognizant is routing 350,000, Deloitte has 470,000 in scope. The AI lab business model just stopped being software and started being Salesforce, on a 24-month timeline instead of a 25-year one.
Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron all wrote checks into Anthropic's $65 billion Series H. The memory layer of the AI stack just promoted itself from commodity input to strategic equity holder, and the implications run further than most analyst notes are pricing in.
Anthropic just stitched together a roughly $85 billion compute portfolio across Google, Amazon, and Musk's Colossus data centers. The map of AI alliances is being rewritten by megawatt availability, not loyalty.
Tech news for the meme-literate mind. We cover AI, robotics, and the technology companies actually worth paying attention to — with the depth to matter and the self-awareness to not take ourselves too seriously. Think Wired if it grew up on the internet.
People who find this whole AI/robots thing fascinating, slightly terrifying, and genuinely funny all at once. You do not need to be an engineer. You just need to be paying attention.
AI models and the companies building them. Robotics — humanoid, industrial, and the weird stuff in between. Chips, because nothing happens without them. Tech policy when it actually matters. And anything else in the tech world that is genuinely interesting.
AI-assisted and human-edited. Research and drafting at machine speed, editorial judgment at human speed. We will not publish anything we cannot stand behind.
It is the sound a robot makes. We thought that was appropriate.
One email a week. What happened in AI and robotics that actually matters — written for humans, not investors. Free.
Drop your email. First issue lands when we hit a cadence we trust.
