Welcome back. In its second largest acquisition to date, Apple is spending $2 billion on Q.ai, an Israeli audio technology startup. The company reportedly develops tech that reads “silent speech,” watching for subtle shifts in facial expression to better process audio. The startup’s 100 employees will join Apple to support Siri and its wearable technology. It’s another sign that Apple is intent on outsourcing its AI efforts, such as in its recent partnership with Google to use Gemini to power Apple Intelligence. Despite Apple being laggard on AI thus far, CEO Tim Cook attempted to shore up investor confidence in

Welcome back. AI is getting starry-eyed. Astronomers at the European Space Agency used AI to unveil 800 previously undiscovered astrophysical anomalies within the Hubble telescope archives. The astronomers, David O’Ryan and Pablo Gómez, trained a model to dig through 35 years of the telescope’s archives and pick out things that were out of the ordinary. It’s the latest example of AI being used to expedite scientific development, with researchers using AI for everything from decoding the human genome to mapping earthquakes. No wonder OpenAI is eager to create AI-powered lab partners. —Nat Rubio-Licht IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. STUDENTS USE “HUMANIZER” TOOLS FOR

Welcome back. AI tools with promises of optimizing workflows, streamlining efficiencies, and even reducing costs have been around for nearly three years–and enterprises are still buying them. A recent report from Salesforce-owned cloud data management company Informatica, published Tuesday, finds that AI adoption is still booming, with 69% of companies having integrated generative AI into their business practices in the past year. This, of course, isn’t without its challenges, with a little over half of the 600 leaders surveyed identifying data reliability as a top barrier to moving projects from pilot to production. Yet another example of how AI can

Welcome back. AI’s next leap isn’t just about bigger models, but smarter ones. Today, we've got an inside look at a breakthrough reasoning model that squeezes more performance out of fewer parameters. It's rare for efficiency, transparency, and capability to move forward together, but that's what we're seeing. MBZUAI’s K2 Think V2 is positioning itself as both a technical standout and a philosophical one, challenging assumptions about scale, openness, and control. We break down how its training approach cuts hallucinations, why its end-to-end openness matters in a market full of half-open claims, and what a “fully sovereign” model means for

Welcome back. World models are having a moment, and the AGI debate is full of more conflicting signals than ever. As investors pour billions into spatial intelligence, AI’s biggest thinkers are openly questioning whether LLMs alone will ever get us to general intelligence. Meanwhile, more AI agents are appearing in the real world: Amazon is rolling out personalized health agents in telemedicine, and Synthesia is betting big on video agents to retrain the enterprise workforce. Today's stories point to a clear shift: The next phase of AI isn’t just smarter chatbots. It’s systems that see, act, explain, and increasingly show

Good morning. Welcome to this special weekend edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with Granola. OUR WHOLE TEAM SWITCHED TO GRANOLA. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. Last week, we told you about Granola, the AI notepad that works differently from every other meeting tool out there. Over the last few months, our entire team switched to it. Not because anyone mandated it. Everyone who started using it genuinely enjoyed it, and the rest of us wanted in. Here's what we've learned. ---------------------------------------- HOW DIFFERENT TEAMS AT THE DEEP VIEW USE IT The thing that surprised us: Granola fits completely different workflows across the company. Partnerships: Tracking timelines, objectives,

Welcome back. Apple is reportedly developing an AI pin — a thin, flat disc about the size as an AirTag but with cameras, microphones, and a speaker. The idea would be that it could understand your personal context and use AI to proactively do helpful things. We saw how well that worked for the ill-fated Humane AI Pin and OpenAI pivoted from a similar product to an AI earbud. The Apple AI pin would need to be worn as a pendant or necklace, which poses multiple problems. Apple is reportedly also working on AI glasses, which would be far more

Hello friends. Welcome to a special edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with DEEL. HOW TO SOLVE THE ROI PROBLEM FOR AI INFERENCE How do you make AI inference affordable enough to deliver real ROI in the enterprise? In Season 2, Episode 1 of The Deep View: Conversations, we talk with Rob May, founder and CEO of Neurometric AI, to break down one of the most urgent challenges in AI today: the soaring cost of inference, and how to bring it down without sacrificing performance. Today's AI is increasingly powerful, but it’s also expensive. For enterprises to see real returns, inference costs have

Welcome back. AI toys aren’t all fun and games. A recent report from advocacy group Common Sense Media published Thursday finds that AI-powered toys can be risky to young children. The report, which tested three popular AI-enabled toys on the market, asserts that these toys collect extensive data on children, risk emotional dependency due to engagement-focused design, and often spewed out inappropriate outputs due to a breakdown in safety guardrails. Though these gadgets may look cute, AI is still AI at the end of the day. — Nat Rubio-Licht IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. ANTHROPIC REWRITES THE BOOK ON CONSTITUTIONAL AI 2. OPENAI NAMES

Welcome back. OpenAI's policy chief confirmed at Davos that the much-anticipated Jony-Ive-designed hardware device is "on track" to be unveiled in the second half of 2026. The device likely won't reach consumers until early 2027. But as I've said before, the fact that OpenAI went back to the drawing board after originally planning to make a device like the ill-fated Humane AI-pin was a smart move. We're now expecting a device more like a smart earbud. Still, when we polled The Deep View audience, only 29% said they would consider buying a new form-factor AI device made by OpenAI. —Jason

Welcome back. Claude Cowork could become the first AI agent to earn mainstream appeal. It generated major buzz last week, and Anthropic has quickly opened it up to more users. Originally limited to $100/month Max subscribers, it's now available on the $20/month Pro plan. Cowork is largely a nice interface for Anthropic's best-known product, Claude Code, a command-line tool that coders had already figured out how to use for building presentations, cancelling subscriptions, controlling smart home devices, and researching vacations. Cowork makes the AI agent accessible to non-coders. I was so interested in trying Cowork that I was considering a

Good morning. Welcome to this special weekend edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with Granola.

It helps you pull out what actually matters to you, without asking you to do more during the meeting. * No need to prepare notes. * No need to write everything down. * No need to invite a bot to your call. Here’s the simplest way to think about it to get the most value. ---------------------------------------- USE GRANOLA LIKE APPLE NOTES, NOT A MEETING TOOL Granola works best when you

Good morning. Welcome to this special weekend edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with SNOWFLAKE. HOW TO MAKE YOUR AI AGENT PRODUCTION-READY 🚀 Agents often fail in ways you can’t see. These hidden mistakes silently rack up compute costs, spike latency, and cause inflexible behavior that collapses in production. This session introduces the Agent GPA (Goal-Plan-Action) framework, available in the open-source TruLens library. Benchmark tests show that the Agent GPA framework consistently outperforms standard LLM evaluators, providing teams with scalable, trustworthy insight into agent behavior: * 95% error detection (vs. 55% baseline methods) * 86% accuracy in pinpointing where an error

Welcome back. Two of the six co-founders of Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab have left the trendy startup and returned to OpenAI. There's been a lot of drama around the situation and some sharp elbow-swinging on both sides. But don't lose the larger narrative. The battle over AI talent remains fierce in 2026 (further under the radar, OpenAI's safety research lead just changed jerseys to play for Anthropic). But the bigger story might be the commoditization of frontier models. It suddenly looks more appealing to focus on building AI to solve specific problems rather than building the world's single best
