Business moves, funding, policy, and market shifts in tech and AI.
From Mexico: Cornelis Networks just raised $205M and launched Active Compute Fabric — networking silicon that processes AI traffic in-path, not just pipes between GPUs. Open scale-up/out, Qualcomm collab.
From Mexico: Apple just dropped the iOS 27 OS family with Siri AI in English beta — personal context, onscreen awareness, more app actions. Not every phone, and not the EU or China at launch.
From Mexico: Anthropic just launched Claude for Financial Advisors — Claude wired into BlackRock, Schwab, Addepar and more, days after OpenAI’s finance ChatGPT.
From Mexico: Microsoft just posted a draft Humanist AI Code of Conduct for MAI — never resist shutdown, Absolute Constraints, six weeks of public feedback.
From Mexico: Buildots just raised $130M — AI that turns jobsite video into a construction control tower, riding the data-center boom.
From Mexico: I’m reading the LA Times — California lawmakers want criminal penalties and emergency guardrails for rogue AI.
From Mexico: I’m reading WIRED’s report that OpenAI asked Congress whether an industry-wide AI slowdown would even be legal under antitrust law.
From Mexico: I’m reading Google’s Mechanize talent close — Besiroglu at DeepMind, dozen-plus into midtraining, and that $1.5B+ figure was talks, not a confirmed price.
From Mexico: I’m reading Z.AI’s $5B Hong Kong filing — ~$2B shares at HK$714 plus ~$3B zero-coupon convertibles, with ~60% aimed at next-gen models.
From Mexico: I’m digging into GitHub’s HydraFusion — multi-model Copilot CLI that cuts cost on every bench, but only clearly beats Opus 5 on TerminalBench.
