    FOLDABLE IPHONE'S DISPLAY SIZES LEAKED (1 MINUTE READ) [7]

    Apple will likely launch its foldable iPhone in the second half of
    2026. The device will come with a 7.8-inch inner display and a
    5.5-inch outer display. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has an 8-inch
    inner screen and a 6.5-inch outer screen. Apple's foldable iPhone will
    feature a 'crease-free' inner display and have two rear cameras, one
    front camera, and a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID.

    OPENAI AGREED TO PAY ORACLE $30B A YEAR FOR DATA CENTER SERVICES (2
    MINUTE READ) [8]

    Oracle disclosed in an SEC filing last month that it had signed a
    cloud deal that would generate $30 billion a year in revenue. The
    company that signed that deal has been revealed to be OpenAI. Oracle collectively sold $24.5 billion worth of cloud services in its fiscal
    2025 to all customers combined. OpenAI and Oracle still have to build
    the data center, which will be a costly endeavor.

    DEEPMIND'S QUEST FOR SELF-IMPROVING TABLE TENNIS AGENTS (5 MINUTE
    READ) [9]

    Google DeepMind recently used table tennis as a testbed for its
    technology, as the sport requires robots to master a confluence of
    difficult skills - it requires perception and demands exceptionally
    precise control. This makes table tennis an ideal domain for
    developing and evaluating robust learning algorithms that can handle
    real-time interaction, complex physics, high-level reasoning, and the
    need for adaptive strategies. This article looks at the study and the
    insights gained from it. One important lesson learned from the project
    is that VLMs can be leveraged for explainable robot policy search.

    GENETICS REIMAGINED (4 MINUTE READ) [10]

    Scientists recently confirmed the healthy births of children through mitochondrial donation. The innovation opens new doors for
    reproductive choice. It offers at-risk families a viable path to
    parenthood without the lingering fear of passing on devastating
    inherited conditions. However, it also opens up the possibility of
    designer genetics that will be passed down to future generations.
    Those currently living with conditions will still face daily
    challenges, but for the next generation, the landscape has changed.

    ANY-AGENT (GITHUB REPO) [11]

    any-agent is a Python library that provides a single interface for
    evaluating different agent frameworks. It can be used to create and
    evaluate agents, implement and use custom callbacks, integrate Model
    Context Protocol tools, deploy agents with Agent-to-Agent
    communication, and more. Tutorials on how to get started are
    available.

    VIBECODING A HIGH PERFORMANCE SYSTEM (24 MINUTE READ) [12]

    This developer recently used agentic coding to build a system to
    crawl a billion web pages in around 24 hours. Less than 4% of the code
    was written by hand. The post discusses how AI helped code the tool
    and where it fell short. AI was a huge boost during the development
    process. Some of the learnings from this project could also apply to
    building other high-performance systems.

    HOW APPLE'S INTERNAL VETO AGAINST OPEN-SOURCE AI SPARKED A TALENT
    EXODUS TO META (4 MINUTE READ) [13]

    Apple had a plan to open-source its core AI models, but its
    leadership decided against it due to fears of exposing performance
    compromises made for on-device processing, a pivotal decision that has
    ignited a crisis of confidence within the company's AI division. The
    move has directly triggered an exodus of top talent to rivals like
    Meta. Many engineers are frustrated with the internal conflict between
    Apple's famous secrecy and the open culture of AI research. There are
    now serious doubts over the future of Apple Intelligence and the
    company's ability to compete in the AI arms race.
