Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg just announced the company’s plans to build multiple AI superclusters in Louisiana and Ohio, set to power its new Superintelligence Labs initiatives. Meta will launch its first 1GW supercluster called “Prometheus” in 2026, while “Hyperion” will scale from 2 to 5GW over several years.

Grok users can chat with fully animated avatars like Ani (a flirty anime character) and Bad Rudi (a red panda), with more options coming soon.

Cognition AI, the creator of “Devin” coding assistant, just acquired rival Windsurf, bringing in all of its remaining employees and assets just days after Google’s $2.4B move to hire key talent and license the startup’s tech. The deal includes Windsurf's intellectual property, brand, $82M in annual revenue, and access to over $100M in remaining capital.

AWS has introduced a new agentic IDE called Kiro that apparently avoids the pitfalls of vibe coding. It is built around a conversational interface that offers developers the chance to explain what they are trying to build. Kiro then uses generative AI to produce its response, which initially takes the form of a spec, not actual code.

Google plans to combine Android with ChromeOS. Chromebooks can already run many Android apps, and Android has been moving closer to ChromeOS with new features like desktop mode, resizable windows, and improved support for external displays. Bringing the two operating systems together makes sense as it will speed up feature development and improve functionality on tablets.

An easy way to lower rates. Want to help your loved one with college costs? Co-signing a loan can be a great way to do just that. You'll be helping them unlock lower rates and get better approval odds. Plus, lenders like College Ave offer co-signed release after a set number of on-time payments, meaning your obligation doesn't have to be forever. Avoid last-minute headaches by acting now, before final tuition bills are due.
