Tech Giants Clash: Apple Embraces AI, Nvidia's OpenAI Deal Implodes

Apple Deepens AI Integration in Xcode, While Adobe Reverses Course on Animate

Apple announced a significant update to its Xcode developer tool, integrating AI agents from Anthropic and OpenAI, while Adobe reversed its decision to discontinue Adobe Animate, according to multiple sources. The Xcode 26.3 update, released Tuesday as a release candidate, incorporates Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex directly into Apple's development environment, VentureBeat reported. Adobe, after initially planning to discontinue Animate on March 1st, will now keep the application in maintenance mode, according to The Verge.

Apple's move signals a strong push into "agentic coding," an emerging practice where AI systems autonomously write code, build projects, run tests, and visually verify their own work with minimal human oversight, VentureBeat noted. The integration of Claude and Codex into Xcode 26.3 marks Apple's most significant embrace of AI-assisted software development since introducing intelligence features, according to VentureBeat.

Meanwhile, Adobe's Animate will continue to receive security and bug fixes and remain available for new and existing users, but it will not get new features, The Verge reported. "Adobe is no longer planning to discontinue Adobe Animate on March 1st," The Verge stated, citing an FAQ from the company. "Animate will still receive ongoing security and bug fixes and will still be available for both new and existing users, but it wont get new features."

In other tech news, AMD hinted that Microsoft could launch its next-generation Xbox console in 2027. AMD CEO Lisa Su stated that development of Microsoft's next-gen Xbox, featuring an AMD semi-custom SoC, is progressing well to support a launch in 2027, according to The Verge. Microsoft confirmed last year that it is working on a next-gen Xbox console in partnership with AMD, The Verge reported.

Separately, Nvidia's potential $100 billion investment in OpenAI's AI infrastructure appears to have stalled. Ars Technica reported that while Nvidia and OpenAI announced a letter of intent in September 2025, no deal has closed. Nvidia's CEO now says the $100 billion figure was never a commitment, and Reuters reports that OpenAI has been quietly seeking alternatives to Nvidia chips since last year, according to Ars Technica. OpenAI is reportedly unsatisfied with the speed of some Nvidia chips for inference tasks, Ars Technica noted, citing eight sources familiar with the matter.

Finally, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos addressed concerns about the potential impact of a merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). During a Senate hearing, Sarandos suggested that the merger would not necessarily lead to higher prices for consumers, Ars Technica reported. Sarandos was speaking at a hearing held by the US Senate Judiciary Committees Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights, Examining the Competitive Impact of the Proposed Netflix-Warner Brothers Transaction, according to Ars Technica.
