| 💰 SpaceX revenue to surpass NASA's budget in 2026 LINK
|
- Elon Musk stated SpaceX's commercial revenue from space will exceed NASA's entire budget in 2026, a milestone the CEO personally announced on X.
- SpaceX projects earning $15.5 billion in revenue during 2025, a notable jump from its estimated $11-13 billion generated the previous year by the company.
- This financial expansion is largely driven by its launch services with reusable Falcon 9 rockets and the Starlink satellite internet division, which now has millions of customers.
| 📱 iOS 26 to bring new features for Messages, CarPlay, and more LINK
|
- Messages in iOS 26 is set to gain support for polls, with Apple testing Apple Intelligence integration to automatically suggest poll structures from conversation context.
- CarPlay will reportedly get a UI overhaul to match the new iOS 26 design language, ensuring a consistent look across Apple's updated operating systems.
- The Lock Screen's Now Playing view in iOS 26 may feature animated album art from Apple Music, extending the lively visuals full screen.
| 💥 Apple's A20 chip to introduce new packaging breakthrough LINK
|
- Apple's A20 chip, set to debut in the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and Fold, will introduce a major packaging innovation called Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM), marking a significant shift in how smartphone chips are built.
- WMCM integrates the processor and memory more closely at the wafer level, reducing power consumption and boosting speed-especially for AI and gaming.
- This marks a shift toward advanced chip techniques in smartphones, with Apple leading the way and TSMC preparing dedicated production for the technology.
| 💻 Mistral releases a vibe coding client, Mistral Code LINK
|
- French AI startup Mistral is releasing Mistral Code, its own coding client based on the open-source Continue project, with a private beta for JetBrains and VS Code.
- Mistral Code bundles the company's models, an in-IDE assistant, and enterprise tooling, aiming to help developers with tasks from completions to multi-step refactoring.
- Companies can adapt its models using their own repositories, and the product provides an admin console, with firms like Capgemini reportedly using Mistral Code.
| 🫠 DeepSeek may have used Google's Gemini to train its latest model LINK
|
- Researchers speculate DeepSeek's new R1-0528 model trained on Google's Gemini outputs, as it prefers words and expressions similar to Gemini 2.5 Pro.
- Another developer stated the DeepSeek model's traces, the system's generated thoughts while working, "read like Gemini traces," hinting at training on Google's AI.
- Experts find it plausible DeepSeek would create synthetic data from Gemini, given their GPU constraints and past accusations of using distillation from other AI.
| ✂️ Windsurf says Anthropic is limiting its direct access to Claude AI models LINK
|
- Windsurf, the vibe coding startup, stated Anthropic significantly reduced its first-party access to the Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI models with little notice.
- The startup now needs other third-party compute providers for Claude AI models, potentially causing short-term availability issues for users trying to access Claude.
- This decision follows Anthropic not granting Windsurf direct access to Claude 4 models, forcing developers to use more expensive "bring your own key" workarounds.
