Apple released iOS 26.3 on Wednesday, introducing a new feature to ease the transition for iPhone users switching to Android devices, while also facing other developments in the tech world. Meanwhile, AI companies like Anthropic are pledging to limit the impact of their data centers on electricity costs, and the xAI-SpaceX merger has led to the departure of two co-founders. In other news, the developer of the multiplayer shooter "Highguard" laid off a significant portion of its staff just weeks after the game's launch.
The new iOS 26.3 update includes a "Transfer to Android" feature, allowing users to move their data by placing their Android and Apple phones side-by-side, according to The Verge. This update provides a more streamlined process for users looking to switch mobile operating systems.
In the AI sector, Anthropic is joining other tech companies in promising to limit the impact of its data centers on local electricity costs, as reported by The Verge. This move comes amid growing concerns about the energy consumption of data centers. "Anthropic is the latest AI company promising to limit the impact its data centers have on nearby residents electricity bills," according to Justine Calma, a senior science reporter at The Verge.
The xAI-SpaceX merger, valued at a reported $1.25 trillion, the biggest merger of all time, has resulted in the departure of two co-founders and other employees from xAI, according to The Verge. The future of xAI involves four divisions: Grok, Coding, Imagine, and Macrohard.
In the gaming industry, Wildlight Entertainment, the developer of the multiplayer shooter "Highguard," laid off "most" of its staff just over two weeks after the game's launch, The Verge reported. This news was revealed through posts from affected staffers on LinkedIn.
Finally, in the enterprise AI space, Glean, an AI work assistant, is aiming to become the AI layer that powers various applications within organizations. Glean, which started as an enterprise search product, has evolved to connect to internal systems, manage permissions, and deliver intelligence wherever employees work, according to TechCrunch. The startup raised $150 million last year at a $7.2 billion valuation. Glean's CEO, Arvind Jain, discussed the company's vision at Web Summit Qatar, where he explained how enterprises are thinking about AI architecture.
