    Pulse on AI: Tinted Glass, Stubborn Windows, and Talkative Assistants: This Week’s AI Pulse

    Today’s Pulse on AI covers Apple’s iOS 26.1 updates—including a new Liquid Glass tint switch, broader Live Translation support with AirPods, and Apple Intelligence language expansion—plus why Windows 10 still holds over 40% market share and what that means for Microsoft’s AI ambitions. We explore Alexa+ inside the Amazon Music app for conversational discovery, Ecer.com’s AI Sourcing for cross-border trade, and new Australian data showing strong GenAI adoption alongside persistent affordability and access gaps. We break down the UK High Court’s ruling in Getty Images vs. Stability AI (model is not an ‘infringing copy,’ but watermark trademarks still matter), user blowback to Udio’s Universal Music settlement restricting downloads and usage, Huawei-backed Seres Group’s Hong Kong listing amid the software-defined vehicle trend, and WEF’s warning about AI investment bubbles. Finally, we translate a research paper linking SHAP values to Fourier analysis into practical guidance: prefer smooth, stable models to improve explanations and reliability.

    Pulse on AI: Cash, Compute, and Control: OpenAI’s Billions, Atlas’s Workarounds, and the New AI Borders

    Max and AI expert Nico Halberg unpack OpenAI’s “well more than $13B” revenue claim alongside Microsoft filings hinting at steep losses, explain how Atlas routes around blocked news sites by summarizing licensed alternatives, and explore the geopolitics of compute, sovereign AI, and the growing divide between those who own compute and those who rent it. They break down a research claim that embeddings may allow prompt reconstruction, discuss YouTube moderation confusion, on‑device transformer autocorrect quirks, Ubuntu snaps greasing AI deployment, enterprise adoption signals, and a small‑model approach that rivals GPT‑4o on a factual benchmark. Three takeaways: follow the compute, treat embeddings as sensitive data, and remember that small models plus good scaffolds can be powerful and cost‑effective.
