AI Ownership, xAI Exodus, and Rocket Lab's Explosions

Two co-founders have exited xAI following its merger with SpaceX and social media platform X, a deal valued at $1.25 trillion, according to The Verge. In other tech news, Apple released iOS 26.3, which includes a new feature to help iPhone users switch to Android, and AI company Anthropic pledged to limit the impact of its data centers on local electricity costs. Meanwhile, enterprise AI company Glean is positioning itself as an AI work assistant, and Rocket Lab experienced an engine anomaly during testing.

The xAI-SpaceX merger, announced last week, has already led to the departure of several employees, including two co-founders, according to The Verge. The merger, the largest of all time, combined the two companies with X. xAI's future involves four divisions: Grok, Coding, Imagine, and Macrohard, The Verge reported.

Apple's iOS 26.3 update includes a "Transfer to Android" feature, allowing iPhone users to easily move their data to Android devices by placing the phones side-by-side, according to The Verge. This update provides a new option for users looking to switch platforms.

Anthropic, facing growing concerns over the energy consumption of data centers, has joined other tech companies in promising to limit the impact on local electricity costs, as reported by The Verge. The company is responding to backlash over the energy demands of its operations.

Glean, which began as an enterprise search product, is evolving into an AI work assistant, aiming to integrate with other AI experiences and manage permissions, according to TechCrunch. Glean's CEO, Arvind Jain, explained that the company aims to sit underneath other AI experiences, connecting to internal systems and delivering intelligence wherever employees work. The startup raised $150 million last year, reaching a $7.2 billion valuation, as competition heats up against tech giants bundling AI.

Rocket Lab experienced an anomaly during an engine test at the Stennis Space Center, according to Ars Technica. A fire started during a test when an electrical box caught fire, causing damage to the test stand. Satellite imagery suggests the roof of a test cell was blown off. The incident occurred at the A3 test stand, and the fire department was called to the scene.
