🍎 Apple joins forces with Anthropic 🍎
AI-powered coding gets a boost

Apple and Anthropic are working on a new AI coding tool based on Xcode, powered by Claude Sonnet, according to Bloomberg. The platform will help write, edit, and test code, and is currently planned for internal use. Apple is also partnering with OpenAI and possibly Google to boost its broader AI strategy. This follows a trend where tech giants report 25-30% of their code is now written by AI, with Meta expecting to reach 50% AI-written code next year.

🔬 FutureHouse launches AI research agents 🔬
Scientific discovery accelerated

Eric Schmidt-backed FutureHouse has launched a suite of specialized AI research agents designed for scientific discovery. The platform offers four specialized agents – Crow, Falcon, Owl, and Phoenix – all immediately accessible via web or API. These agents can access specialized scientific databases with transparent reasoning, allowing researchers to track how they arrive at a conclusion. FutureHouse claims these agents reach superhuman levels in literature search and synthesis, outperforming both PhD researchers and top traditional search models.

🎓 CEOs advocate for AI education 🎓

More than 200 CEOs signed a letter urging state leaders to mandate artificial intelligence and computer science classes as high school graduation requirements. The initiative follows President Trump's creation of an AI education task force to expand students' exposure to AI instruction. Currently, only 12 states require students to earn credit in computer science to graduate, though 35 states now have plans for computer science education. The letter emphasizes that "in the age of AI, we must prepare our children for the future — to be AI creators, not just consumers."
