The enterprise AI landscape is rapidly evolving, with companies like Glean positioning themselves as key players in the underlying infrastructure, while concerns over copyright infringement arise with the launch of new AI video generators. Meanwhile, in the transportation sector, Rivian's reliance on software partnerships is proving crucial, and astronomers continue to unravel the mysteries of the Kuiper Belt.
Glean, an AI-powered search tool initially designed to be the "Google for enterprise," is shifting its strategy. According to TechCrunch, the company is now focusing on becoming the "connective tissue between models and enterprise systems." Glean's initial product indexed and searched across various SaaS tools.
In the automotive industry, Rivian's recent earnings reports highlighted the importance of software. TechCrunch reported that software, particularly its joint venture with Volkswagen Group, was the company's "savior" in 2025 and is expected to provide further support in 2026, with an additional $2 billion anticipated from VW Group.
However, the rapid advancement of AI also brings challenges. Hollywood organizations are voicing concerns over Seedance 2.0, a new AI video model from ByteDance. TechCrunch noted that critics are worried about the lack of guardrails around the tool, which allows users to generate videos from text prompts, potentially leading to copyright infringement. The model is currently available to Chinese users and will soon be available globally.
In other news, Logitech has released a new gaming mouse, the G Pro X2 Superstrike, featuring analog sensors. The Verge reported that the $179.99 mouse aims to provide faster click registration.
Finally, astronomers are making progress in understanding the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune's orbit. Ars Technica reported that astronomers have cataloged about 4,000 Kuiper Belt objects, with the number expected to increase significantly in the coming years. The Kuiper Belt, a region of frozen debris, is about 30 to 50 times farther from the sun than Earth.
