Apple has released major updates across its ecosystem, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate. The new macOS introduces features that hint at how a future touchscreen MacBook might function. These updates bring a range of new capabilities and refinements to Apple's platforms.
Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, a public-facing version of its advanced Mythos model, making powerful AI capabilities available to a broader audience. However, the company has also identified specific topics it considers too dangerous for the model to discuss. This release marks a significant step in balancing AI accessibility with safety precautions.
SpaceX is moving forward with ambitious plans to launch a space-based data center prototype by late 2027. The first-generation orbital craft is larger than a Boeing 747 and features an interchangeable chip payload. Additionally, SpaceX has unveiled an 11-million-square-foot Gigasat factory dedicated to manufacturing space-based data centers.
Artificial intelligence is finding new applications in elder care and immersive digital experiences, as highlighted in recent reports from China Daily and TechCrunch. MIT Review also outlines five key developments shaping the AI landscape. The conversation around what users truly want from AI continues to evolve.
Major players are racing to solve the energy demands of AI data centers. General Motors has entered the battery manufacturing space for this purpose. China is drafting an ambitious $295 billion plan to build a national AI data center grid powered by 80% domestically produced chips. MIT Review explores virtual power plants as a potential solution, while Tokyo Electron's CEO stresses the necessity of semiconductor advances.
