Apple brings a fully revamped Siri built on Google's Gemini, but not to the EU
Apple shipped its fully rebuilt Siri running on Google's Gemini models with iOS 27, initially excluding the EU and China over regulatory hurdles.
Apple released 'Siri AI' as an English beta within iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27, built on Google's Gemini models running partly on-device and partly through Private Cloud Compute. The rollout excludes the EU and China at launch due to regulatory requirements, with French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish support due next month. Early reviewers call it a step forward but report failures on personal-context queries and occasional hallucinations. Siri integrates with third-party apps like WhatsApp and Audible, with Outlook, Notability, and Tripsy coming later.

Perplexity Portable Computer Is Now Available on Windows, Powered by NVIDIA RTX
Perplexity launches Portable Computer local AI agent on Windows for NVIDIA RTX PCs with 24GB+ VRAM, keeping sensitive work on-device.
Perplexity released Portable Computer, a local version of its agentic Perplexity Computer, in its Windows app for NVIDIA GeForce RTX PCs and RTX PRO Workstations with 24GB or more VRAM. It runs a locally post-trained model such as Qwen 3.8 27B optimized for NVIDIA RTX GPUs, handling multistep tasks and file analysis on-device with a SPACE sandbox and built-in browser. Connectors cover Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Google Drive, Gmail, Slack, and GitHub, and the agent can escalate to cloud models only with user permission.

Microsoft Investigating Microsoft 365 Copilot Access Issues Under Incident CP1470554
Microsoft is investigating a Microsoft 365 Copilot access disruption tracked as incident CP1470554, with no root cause or recovery timeline published.
Microsoft is investigating reports that users cannot open Microsoft 365 Copilot or encounter errors when interacting with it, tracked under Service Health incident CP1470554 in the Microsoft 365 admin center. The company has not disclosed a root cause, affected regions, or estimated recovery time. It follows several distinct Copilot availability failures between late August and September 10, including an authentication-configuration outage and a Copilot Chat configuration fault. Microsoft says the issue is not a breach or cyberattack and directs tenant admins to the Service Health Dashboard.

Jensen Huang explains why Nvidia will grow an astounding 70% next year
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reiterated at a Goldman Sachs conference that revenue could grow 70% year-over-year next year, reaching roughly $680 billion.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communicopia + Technology conference, Huang reaffirmed guidance of about 70% revenue growth next year, implying roughly $680 billion after an expected ~$400 billion this fiscal year. He cited the Grace-Blackwell system (36 Grace CPUs with 72 Blackwell GPUs) experiencing 27% month-over-month order growth and claimed $100 billion in revenue-generating contracts at companies Nvidia invests in. Huang argued Nvidia underpins models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google and tracks global data center capacity, while dismissing concerns about circular deals and competition from hyperscalers, Cerebras, and Etched.

[AINews] OpenAI reports Navier-Stokes singularity find in 88 hours using Astra-next, roughly 10,000 agents and 130B tokens (>$40M), a contender for second ever Millennium Prize awarded
OpenAI-linked accounts claim roughly 10,000 AI agents produced a Navier-Stokes singularity result in 88 hours, pending mathematical verification.
OpenAI-affiliated accounts claim a system of roughly 10,000 agents, trained over about a year with multi-agent reinforcement learning, produced a finite-time singularity result related to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem. The claimed 88-hour runtime and 130B-token cost circulate only via social posts, and no preprint, theorem statement, or proof artifact is available. Acceptance by the mathematics community is unresolved, so the claim's epistemic status remains unknown. The roundup also notes Cognition's $48B and Mistral's $24B fundraises, GPT Image 2.5, and Meta's Muse agent relaunch.

The VMs Powering Mobile Agents (Instinct, Claude Code)
A teardown reveals Claude Code runs in Firecracker microVMs with a Rust PID 1 and MITM'd egress, while Instinct rents E2B sandboxes with git-based memory.
The author inspects the virtual machines hosting cloud agents: Claude Code runs in a Firecracker microVM with a custom Rust init (process_api) as PID 1, a 324 MB Bun harness on a read-only disk, and 443-only MITM'd SSE egress to api.anthropic.com with host-rotated OAuth tokens and no inbound access. Instinct rents E2B sandbox-as-a-service Firecracker microVMs (Ubuntu 22.04, 2 vCPU, 1.9 GB RAM) where agent memory is a git repo of Markdown committed by the agent and pushed to S3 as a single bundle, using short-lived STS credentials. Both platforms rely on Firecracker, differing mainly in fleet operator and guest boot configuration.
