NEWS UPDATES
Apple Tests Siri That Operates Apps by Voice Only
Apple is trialing a new Siri that can take actions inside apps with voice. The upgrade leans on App Intents so users can book rides, draft messages, and edit content hands-free. Apple is still testing the scope and timing. Broader rollout will follow once reliability improves.
Start preparing for voice-first workflows. Ask teams to add or update App Intents so Siri can reach key actions. Map top use cases like support, checkout, and reorders. Review consent and logging before launch.
SoftBank Shares Jump on “Stargate” Progress
SoftBank stock rose as much as 8% on signs its AI buildout is advancing. Reports tie SoftBank to the purchase of Foxconn’s Ohio plant for the Stargate data-center project. The site would support power, cooling, and fast expansion for training and inference. Timelines and final capacity are still emerging.
More capacity changes supply and pricing. If your 2026 roadmap needs fresh compute, secure options now. Line up contracts with power and permits in mind. Keep a fallback plan if schedules slip.
Microsoft Brings GitHub Closer to CoreAI
GitHub’s CEO, Thomas Dohmke, is stepping down. Microsoft is not appointing a new CEO. GitHub leadership will report directly to Microsoft’s CoreAI group, led by Jay Parikh. The shift further ties GitHub to Microsoft’s AI platform and Copilot roadmap.
Plan for tighter GitHub–Microsoft alignment across security, billing, and product release cycles. Ask your teams to review Copilot usage, data controls, and upcoming agent features inside GitHub. Expect faster feature flow from CoreAI into developer tools. Align your 2025–26 dev platform plans accordingly.
