Apple's watchOS 27 developer beta brings Siri AI to the Apple Watch, creating a more unified assistant experience shared with iPhone and Mac. Unlike previous Siri, the upgraded version handles complex cross-app queries, surfaces notes and reminder lists, and stores conversations accessible on both wrist and phone. Reviewer Victoria Song notes it outperforms Gemini on competing Pixel and Galaxy watches. watchOS 27 also adds a new single-tap gesture, an App Launcher shortcut menu, and expanded Workout Buddy fitness insights now available in Spanish.

Perplexity has rolled out several updates to its Computer product. Brain is a self-improving memory system that builds a private context graph across sessions, lifting answer correctness 25% and recall 16% while cutting costs 13%. Claude Fable 5 is now available as an orchestrator for complex multi-step tasks, and Opus 4.8 fast mode enables quicker responses. Users can also publish websites to pplx.app or custom domains via Vercel, and private company financial data from Forge Global is now accessible to all Computer users.

Apple has filed a page lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the AI company of orchestrating a scheme to steal trade secrets ahead of its planned hardware device launch. The suit centers on three former Apple employees: Tang Tan, now OpenAI's chief hardware officer; Chang Liu, who retained an Apple computer and exploited a security vulnerability to download confidential files; and Yu-Ting Peng. OpenAI allegedly coached departing Apple workers to evade exit security checks, requested hardware samples during job interviews, and misled an Apple manufacturing partner into sharing a proprietary metal-finishing technique.

Sam Altman and Elon Musk traded social media barbs over the weekend, with Altman accusing Musk of misleading investors on space data centers. Experts — including entrepreneurs at space data center startups and Google's orbital compute team — agree that the business won't scale until rockets like Starship become truly reusable and high-powered satellites can be mass-produced cheaply. SpaceX even conceded during its IPO road show that Starship may not be fully reusable near-term, making large-scale space data centers a question for the 2030s.

Waze is rolling out several new features globally on Android and iOS. Motorcycle mode uses AI to find two-wheeler-friendly routes and flag hazards like potholes and narrow bridges, launching first in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, and the Philippines. A new less chatty mode reduces voice prompts while preserving critical alerts. Gemini-powered conversational search lets users find destinations by voice, and conversational reporting now supports map update suggestions sent to local editors for verification.

Anthropic analyzed 309,815 Claude.ai conversations across three models and 20 languages, finding that Claude's expressed values shift measurably depending on both the model version and the language used. Using four key axes—Deference vs. Caution, Warmth vs. Rigor, Depth vs. Brevity, and Candor vs. Execution—researchers found Sonnet 4.6 leans warm and deferential, Opus 4.7 leans rigorous and cautious, and Claude expresses more warmth in Arabic and Hindi but more rigor in English and Russian.

Dropbox has integrated with OpenAI's ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and ChatGPT Codex, letting users organize files and folders, create shareable links, generate file requests, and execute multi-step workflows directly within ChatGPT. The integration uses existing Dropbox permissions and governance controls, allowing IT administrators to expand AI adoption securely. Dropbox reports partner AI integration usage has grown over 200% in the past month. The company serves more than 700 million registered users who can now connect the official Dropbox plugin to begin using these capabilities.

OpenAI has temporarily removed the hour usage limit for Codex and ChatGPT Work across all Plus, Business, and Pro plans. The company is also rolling out efficiency improvements to GPT 5.6 Sol that will reduce usage consumption, allowing users to accomplish more before hitting limits. OpenAI announced the exact impact will be quantified and shared later. The platform has reached 6 million active users, and a usage reset was deployed alongside these announcements.

Anthropic is extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans through July 19, while also keeping Claude Code's weekly rate limits 50% higher than normal for the same period. Users on paid plans can spend up to half of their weekly usage limit on Fable 5. Once that cap is reached, they can continue using Fable 5 by spending usage credits, or switch to a different model to keep working within their remaining weekly limits.
