Welcome back. Apple just made another big AI move. Instead of building its own coding assistant, it's integrating Anthropic and OpenAI agents directly into Xcode 26.3. In 2024, I got a demo of Apple's in-house AI within Xcode. The one unveiled today is significantly better and will still give developers the tools they need within the Apple ecosystem. Meanwhile, Anthropic's latest research suggests AI risks look less like a Terminator event and more like industrial accidents. And Perplexity's data reveals that the AI market has splintered. No single model accounted for more than 17% of usage, with teams selecting different

Welcome back. This is turning into agent week at The Deep View. OpenAI is making Codex a command center where developers manage teams of agents rather than a single assistant. That's a profound shift. The ChatGPT-maker also released a new desktop Codex app for Mac and made Codex available for everyone to try (albeit for a limited time).  Meanwhile, Snowflake has leveraged its enterprise data advantage in AI to power its own agents that operate within its governed, enterprise-ready workflows. SpaceX has officially pulled xAI into its orbit, blending rockets, data centers, and AI ambitions in a deal that has

Welcome back. Anthropic’s got its eye on the red planet. On Friday, the company announced that it partnered with NASA to use its flagship Claude AI model to decide on a route for the Perseverance Rover on Mars. The journey took place in early December, in which JPL engineers used Claude to navigate a 400-meter path through rocky terrain on the surface of Mars. The route marked the first time a Martian rover’s commands were written by AI. It’s also the latest example of an AI firm targeting scientific research as a use case for its models. — Nat Rubio-Licht IN

Hello friends. Welcome to a special edition of the newsletter, featuring the latest episode of our podcast, The Deep View: Conversations. HOW AI COULD RESHAPE HUMAN MEMORY AND ATTENTION AI could change the way we remember, and the way we pay attention. In Season 2, Episode 2 of The Deep View: Conversations, Editor-in-Chief Jason Hiner sits down with Bobak Tavangar, CEO of Brilliant Labs, one of the most intriguing startups in AI hardware today. While trillion-dollar giants like Meta and Google race to define the future of AI glasses, Brilliant Labs is taking a radically different path: building in public, going open-source with both software

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.

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
