Apple reportedly building server packed with M-series Ultra chips for AI

Apple is reportedly developing an enterprise AI server with two or four future M8 Ultra chips, targeting a 2029 release.

According to The Information, Apple is working on an AI server built around its M-series Ultra chips, in configurations with two or four future M8 Ultra chips. The project, which reportedly received support from new CEO John Ternus, would be Apple's first server product in nearly two decades. Surging sales of Mac mini and Mac Studio to AI developers, including purchases by OpenAI and rentals by Anthropic via AWS, reportedly motivated the effort.

Underwriting Superintelligence: Backing Agents you can Sue — Rune Kvist, AIUC

AIUC raised a $40 million Series A to build AIUC-1, an agent security standard backed by insurance, serving Cursor, Harvey, Lovable, and ElevenLabs.

AIUC, cofounded by former Anthropic product hire Rune Kvist, announced a $40 million Series A led by Ribbit Capital and First Harmonic. The startup builds AIUC-1, an emerging standard for agent security, safety, and reliability, stress-testing agents for jailbreaks, hallucinations, and data leaks. It pairs standards with insurance underwriting through Lloyd's of London and counts Cursor, Harvey, Lovable, and ElevenLabs among its customers. Kvist argues trust and liability, not capability, are becoming the binding constraint on AI adoption.

After accusations of selling ‘perv glasses,’ Meta prepares to sell a pair without a camera

Meta is preparing camera-less Luna smart glasses with microphones and an AI button to access its chatbot and Muse agent, per reports.

The Information reports Meta is developing Luna, a camera-free smart glasses model with six built-in microphones and a side button that activates Meta's AI chatbot and its Muse consumer agent, possibly unveiled at next week's Meta Connect event. The move follows consumer backlash over camera-equipped glasses that critics called 'perv glasses.' Meta's Reality Labs continues to post large losses despite the smart glasses line's relative market success.

Canadian Start-up smartARM Uses AI to Create Intuitive Bionic Prosthetics

Toronto startup smartARM built a bionic prosthetic arm using Meta's DINOv2 vision model and AI glasses to automatically select grips for objects.

Toronto-based smartARM developed a vision-first bionic arm that uses a palm-embedded camera and Meta's open-source DINOv2 model to recognize objects from a few reference photos and automatically select suitable grips. It integrates Meta AI Glasses and the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit for additional egocentric context, letting users add new objects via a phone app. The arm adapts to new objects almost instantly instead of the weeks previously required, and is used by former NFL player Shaquem Griffin.

University of Manchester Uses NVIDIA Earth-2 to Forecast Air Pollution Across the UK

University of Manchester retrained NVIDIA Earth-2 CorrDiff and StormCast on Isambard-AI to forecast UK air pollution at 2-3 km resolution.

University of Manchester researchers led by professor David Topping adapted NVIDIA's Earth-2 generative AI frameworks to forecast air pollution across the UK. Earth-2 CorrDiff was retrained in two days on a single eight-GPU node of Isambard-AI (5,448 GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, 21 exaflops) using a year of hourly simulated pollution data, producing a UK-wide model at 2-3 square kilometer resolution. The team added Earth-2 StormCast for time-dependent forecasts that ingest real air quality observations, and demonstrated the workflow runs on the DGX Spark desktop AI system. Open-source training data and workflows are planned so other countries and cities can build similar pollution models.

AI Infra Summit: NVIDIA Vera Rubin and DSX Platform Advancements Showcase Energy Efficiencies of Optimizing Tokens Per Watt for AI Factories

At AI Infra Summit, NVIDIA showcased Vera Rubin and DSX gains up to 1.4x tokens per megawatt, plus Annapurna, d-Matrix, and Pinterest partnerships.

Ian Buck's AI Infra Summit keynote before 8,000+ attendees emphasized validated agentic tokens per megawatt as the emerging AI infrastructure metric. Announcements include Amazon's Annapurna Labs collaborating on NVHBM custom high-bandwidth memory, d-Matrix integrating NVLink Fusion with Raptor XPUs, and Pinterest using Blackwell plus Dynamo inference software for conversational visual discovery. Lambda reported 23% better performance per watt with DSX MaxLPS on Blackwell servers, running 19 nodes on a 16-node power budget. NVIDIA says DSX MaxLPS combined with Groq 3 LPX on Vera Rubin NVL72 targets up to 35X token throughput per megawatt versus GB200 NVL72 for 2-trillion-plus-parameter models.

Former TikTok execs built an app that uses AI to teach you how to pose for a photo

Ex-TikTok employees launched Superpose, an iOS camera app using generative AI to suggest photo poses, with $2.2M raised.

Former TikTok employees Melody Chu and Jing Liu launched Superpose, an iOS camera app that generates four AI pose suggestions per photo, with over 22,000 downloads and 190,000 poses generated since July. The app offers five free generations daily, with paid packs of five for $2.99 or 20 for $9.99. The startup raised $2.2 million from Khosla Ventures, Meitu, and OVTR VC, competing with Google's Camera Coach and Adobe's AI photo critique features.

Nvidia wants to pour up to $10 billion into Anthropic's record-breaking IPO

Nvidia is reportedly in talks to invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic's IPO, which targets a $2 trillion valuation, making it history's largest.

Reuters reports Nvidia is negotiating to become an anchor investor with up to $10 billion in Anthropic's planned IPO, locking in shares before they hit the open market. Anthropic aims to raise up to $100 billion at a roughly $2 trillion valuation, with the IPO expected to complete before the US midterms in November. Anthropic's revenue reportedly grew from about $9 billion at the end of 2025 to over $65 billion by July 2026. The company already runs on Nvidia GPUs and committed in 2025 to purchasing $30 billion in Azure compute packed with Nvidia chips.

Simulation: the new Scaling Law — Joon Sung Park, Simile AI

Simile AI raised a $2B Series B from GreenOaks and Index Ventures to scale human-behavior simulation for Fortune 100 clients like CVS.

Simile AI, co-founded by Generative Agents researcher Joon Sung Park, announced a $2 billion Series B backed by GreenOaks and Index Ventures, with Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy among backers. The company runs tens of millions of simulations for Fortune 100 clients including CVS, reporting 85-99% accuracy versus human focus groups and digital twins of 1,000 real people at 85% behavioral accuracy. The long-term ambition is foundation models of human behavior, post-trained on interviews, transaction data, and randomized controlled trials, potentially simulating all 8 billion people.
