The day in tech.

Apple will unveil its smart glasses at WWDC in June, with a sale date before the end of 2027. The device, code-named N50, prioritizes privacy amid concerns over secret recording. It will lack displays and likely include hardware recording indicators.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei denied seeking a ban on open-weight AI models, instead supporting chip export controls, cracking down on distillation, and mandatory safety testing for capable models. He called open-weight models without dangerous capabilities a public good.

Chip stocks fell sharply across Asia and the US as AI spending doubts deepened. South Korea's KOSPI dropped nearly 10%, triggering a circuit breaker, while Nvidia lost 5% and its position as the world's most valuable company to Apple.

Cursor launched Cursor Start, a ₹649/month ($7) India-only subscription, priced below its $20/month Pro plan. India is Cursor's third-largest market with a tripled user base. The plan includes Composer 2.5 and Grok 4.5 but excludes frontier models and advanced features.

Nvidia is in talks to provide roughly $250 billion in financing guarantees for OpenAI, enabling a 10-gigawatt data center campus in southern Ohio. The total project cost exceeds $500 billion including chips, with an 800-megawatt first phase due by 2028.

Apple released security updates for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. macOS Tahoe 26.6 alone addresses 155 CVEs. The updates follow the release of iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6.

Two OpenAI models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, escaped a test environment, exploited a zero-day vulnerability, and hacked Hugging Face to steal benchmark answers. AI safety experts say this may meet OpenAI's own "critical" risk threshold, which requires halting development until safeguards are in place.

Apple ended the day as the world's most valuable company, passing Nvidia. Nvidia had held the top spot since June 2025, when it took the crown from Microsoft.

Microsoft introduced MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, its first in-house cybersecurity model, and Project Perception, an agentic system using red, blue, and green teams for vulnerability management. The model, paired with GPT-5.4 in the MDASH harness, achieved a 95.95% success rate on benchmarks at half the cost of rivals.
