- Apple: Removes Siri AI waitlist; iOS 27.3 expands AI in Mail/Safari/Files. Apple Intelligence with Alibaba launches in China (Dec).
Geopolitics & infrastructure
- China: Moonshot AI seeks European Nvidia Blackwell GPU leases to bypass U.S. curbs; Tencent Hy4 (770B parameters) joins global AI leaderboard. Nvidia’s H200 chips stuck in Hong Kong awaiting China import approval.
- U.S.: SpaceX builds 2 more AI data centers in Memphis (total 6); OpenAI commits to covering data center electricity costs post-election backlash.
- India: CERT-In publishes AI security auditing guidelines; Coforge integrates Grok AI for enterprise clients.
Key trends
- Agentic AI (autonomous task completion) accelerates in gaming (Minecraft), coding (Devin, Claude Code), and enterprise workflows (Perplexity Teammates).
- Open-weight models (Muse Spark, Qwen 3) drive competition while raising governance debates.
- Local AI gains traction for cost/privacy, but scaling remains challenging.
- Safety concerns escalate: misuse in cyberattacks, financial fraud, and mental health crises.
