Microsoft restricted employee access to Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 while legal teams review Anthropic's new data retention policy.

TensorWave closed a $350 million Series B funding round co-led by Magnetar and AMD Ventures, reaching a $1.55 billion valuation. The startup exclusively uses AMD chips and software, refusing to buy Nvidia hardware.

OneAssist launched Hawk Eye, an AI diagnostics platform for used smartphones that evaluates device health and enables post-purchase protection plans.

The device includes a detachable remote display and a head-tracking module. Price starts at RMB 3,999 ($590) in China.

Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor argue that evidence rejects the narrative that AI will cause mass layoffs in software engineering. Software development functions as a "decide-execute-deliver sandwich" where AI compresses only the execute layer. The other two layers resist automation in ways capability improvements alone cannot overcome.

Apple briefly posted iPadOS 27 beta 1 restore images for two older iPad Pro models not on the official compatibility list. The links were later removed. Attempting to install the IPSW on a 3rd-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro failed, suggesting the listing was a mistake rather than an expanded compatibility list.
