Apple Integrates AI Agents into Xcode, Nvidia's OpenAI Deal Falters, and Adobe Reverses Course on Animate
Apple announced a major update to its Xcode developer tool, integrating Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex to enable AI-assisted software development, while Nvidia's potential $100 billion investment in OpenAI appears to have stalled, and Adobe reversed its decision to discontinue Adobe Animate.
The Xcode 26.3 update, released Tuesday, marks Apple's significant push into "agentic coding," allowing AI systems to autonomously write code, build projects, run tests, and visually verify their work with minimal human oversight, according to VentureBeat. This integration gives AI agents unprecedented control over the app-building process.
Meanwhile, Nvidia's potential $100 billion investment in OpenAI, initially announced in September 2025, has seemingly vanished. According to Ars Technica, Nvidia's CEO now states that the $100 billion figure was "never a commitment." Reuters reported that OpenAI has been quietly seeking alternatives to Nvidia chips since last year, citing dissatisfaction with the speed of some Nvidia chips for inference tasks. Inference is the process by which a trained AI model generates responses.
In other news, Adobe reversed its decision to discontinue Adobe Animate on March 1st. The company now states that Animate will be in maintenance mode, receiving ongoing security and bug fixes, and will remain available for new and existing users, according to The Verge. However, the software will not receive new features. Many creators had expressed frustration after Adobe's initial announcement.
The move by Apple comes as Vercel, a cloud platform for frontend developers, announced a rebuilt version of its v0 service, aiming to bridge the gap between AI-generated code and existing production infrastructure. According to VentureBeat, the original v0, launched in 2024, helped developers create UI scaffolding, but getting those prototypes into production required rewrites. Vercel's rebuilt v0 aims to solve the challenge of connecting AI-generated code to existing production infrastructure, not just prototypes.
These developments highlight the rapid advancements and shifting landscapes in AI-assisted development and the tech industry.
