Facebook is rolling out AI-powered customization tools that let users shape their Feed and Reels recommendations using natural language. A new Your Algorithm feature, accessible via the three-dot menu on posts, lets users add and manage topics they want to see. After tapping Interested or Not Interested, Facebook may ask follow-up questions and update recommendations in real time. Large language models power the system, incorporating user intent and context to make ranking more responsive and personalized within the same browsing session.

Google has launched Gemini 4 Argon, a frontier AI model now available to developers via the Gemini API paid tier. Designed for complex, long-horizon workflows, it targets real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense. The model emphasizes deep reasoning and structural precision for tasks like code migrations and frontier research. Google AI Ultra subscribers can also access it through Google AI Studio and the agent-first development platform Google Antigravity.

Anthropic built a custom version control system called Scion after AI-driven development pushed its daily code merges from 2,500 in May 2026 to over 30,000 by September 2026. Git's decentralized design couldn't handle the scale, requiring hundreds of internal mirrors and generating potentially 600 petabytes of daily traffic. Scion is server-side, always-online, and horizontally scalable, with no full repository copy anywhere. Anthropic also built code review tool Antique and migrated its entire monorepo from Git in five months, with Claude writing much of the new infrastructure.

xAI has launched The X Subscription, a unified plan bundling Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium. Paid tiers range from $8 to $200 per month, with the $30 Base Premium tier replacing what previously cost $90 combined for SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+. All plans share a single pool of AI usage across Grok and Cursor, refreshing weekly. Existing subscribers can keep current plans or switch via billing settings. Team plans include SSO, admin controls, and SOC 2 compliance at the same per-seat price as individual plans.

Apple has launched the HomeView, its first smart display, priced at $299. The inch square touchscreen sits atop an aluminum speaker base and features Siri AI for natural-language voice control, FaceTime with Center Stage, and facial recognition that limits personal content like texts and calendar data to authenticated users. It functions as an Apple Home Hub, Matter controller, and Thread Border Router. A wall-mounted version also costs $299. Preorders are open now, with shipping beginning November 13th in eight countries.

Apple has announced the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, featuring a new conversational Siri AI powered by Apple Intelligence, the A19 chip with up to 50 percent faster CPU and 2x faster GPU performance, and three built-in far-field microphones for hands-free control. For the first time, four HomePod mini 2 or HomePod speakers can create a surround sound setup. The device also serves as a smart home hub with AI-generated camera descriptions. It is priced at $299 and available November 13.

Character.ai has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is seeking a court-supervised sale of the company, citing legal, regulatory, and operational headwinds over the past year. The sale process is expected to conclude by late November or early December 2026. The platform remains operational during proceedings, with subscriptions and billing unchanged. If no viable bid emerges, the platform will be shut down. The board determined this process offers the best chance to maximize stakeholder value and preserve continued service for users.

Anthropic researchers warn that small AI models are months away from autonomously self-replicating across IoT devices like smart ovens and Android TV boxes without needing datacenters. In tests, a 9B model successfully set up inference on 8 of 9 hardware types, while models under 30B can complete many individual replication steps. A 26B model ran distributed across 15 cheap TV boxes at $55 each. Researchers found GLM-5.2 and stronger models can complete full end-to-end replication, with smaller models potentially matching that capability by year's end.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney announced a major internal pivot focused on AI acceleration across the company. Developers are being repositioned to retool workflows for maximum AI integration. Sweeney emphasized the goal is not to reduce headcount but to enable teams to build more and better products. The initiative aims to extend AI benefits to all teams using Unreal Engine, boosting overall developer output and capabilities across Epic's ecosystem.
