    Apple's redesigned Health app expands language support

    Apple's redesigned Health app expands language support to global English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, and Vietnamese, with Apple Intelligence at its core. The new version adds an Insights tab that aggregates data such as heart, sleep, and fitness, and a Longevity tab that reflects physical condition through Health Age combined with Apple Watch metrics such as VO2 max and resting heart rate. The update also introduces at-home movement assessments, using the iPhone camera and Apple Watch to measure flexibility, strength, balance, and VO2 max on-device, without recording or storing video. This version enters the iOS 27.3 developer beta today and will be released for free later this year.

    Claude now supports automatic plugin connection at login, and MCP servers can treat Claude as a trusted issuer

    Claude users can automatically connect plugins when they log in, provided the MCP server accepts Claude as a trusted issuer. This capability is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans and already supports services including Amplitude, Atlassian, Datadog, Dropbox, Figma, Granola, HubSpot, Linear, Mixpanel, Notion, PagerDuty, Semrush, and Supabase. Enterprises can also use enterprise-managed authentication (EMA), based on the MCP open extension, for administrators to connect plugins for the entire organization through their identity provider; if the identity provider does not support EMA, Claude can directly vouch for each logged-in member. Plugin developers can now add support.

    Claude launches Enterprise Managed Authentication (EMA), letting admins connect plugins org-wide via their identity provider

    Claude launches Enterprise Managed Authentication (EMA), which lets admins connect plugins for the entire organization through their identity provider, so members no longer need to search for, sign in to, and authorize each plugin themselves; the capability is based on an open extension to MCP. Claude also supports automatically connecting to MCP servers that accept Claude as a trusted issuer when users sign in to Claude; this auto-connect feature is in beta for Team and Enterprise plans and already supports Amplitude, Atlassian, Datadog, Dropbox, Figma, Granola, HubSpot, Linear, Mixpanel, Notion, PagerDuty, Semrush, and Supabase. If an organization's identity provider does not support EMA, Claude can vouch for each signed-in member directly, and once an admin configures it, eligible members can connect automatically.

    Trump demands data centers generate their own power; industry says hybrid power supply is more realistic

    In an October 21 Truth Social post, Trump said that newly built large data centers should generate their own power and sell surplus electricity back to the community or the grid. NEMA's Patrick Hughes said that a single AI data center can technically self-generate power, but 100% self-sufficiency with reliable 24/7 operation is unrealistic, and most facilities are more likely to adopt a hybrid approach combining on-site generation, energy storage, and grid interconnection. The article also notes tight supplies of gas, nuclear, and battery-related equipment, with some turbine models booked out to 2031, and cites the Stargate site in Abilene and Applied Digital's project in North Dakota as examples showing that existing projects are already combining multiple power sources.

    The New York Times and other publishers sue Brave for bypassing paywalls and providing content to AI companies

    U.S. publishers including The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Orlando Sentinel have sued Brave Software, alleging that it scraped website content without permission and, through its Paywall blocker feature, helped users bypass the paywalls of hundreds of news outlets. The complaint alleges that Brave provided its index database of scraped content, Brave Index, to AI companies such as Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI, and Cohere. A New York Times spokesperson, Graham James, said that Brave disregards existing copyright law and has ignored repeated demands to stop infringing.

    Google disables AI features by default for US K-12 schools; once disabled, students will be unable to use Search

    Google announced that software used by students in US K-12 schools will have all AI features disabled by default unless school administrators actively choose to enable them, responding to educators' and parents' desire to control children's interactions with AI. Chris Phillips, Google's vice president of education, said that Search and AI are now deeply integrated, and if schools disable AI, students will be unable to use Search. US K-12 schools widely use Google's Gmail, Docs, and Classroom, and Chromebooks are also the most commonly used laptops in schools.

    Ado changes his mind: AI personal software shifts toward short-lifecycle tools

    Ado said he previously believed that using AI to build personal software (everyone building their own Figma, Linear, video editors, etc.) was the future, but now believes that judgment was wrong. He is more optimistic about specialized software for immediate tasks with short lifecycles, paired with a single data store to preserve the source of truth, results, and outputs, especially as models become better and faster. He also advises developers to build for interoperability.

    Volcano Engine Takes 45.1% of China's MaaS Market, with Seedance Driving Over Half of Revenue

    An IDC report shows that in the first half of 2026, China's MaaS market reached 10.63 billion yuan, up 889.4% year over year, with Volcano Engine ranking first at a 45.1% share, but in the large language model MaaS market it ranked only third at 10.2%. Zhidongxi analysis argues that the video generation model Seedance contributed more than half of Volcano's MaaS revenue, and that, combined with the content loop formed by Fanqie Novel, Hongguo Short Dramas and Douyin, this was the key to ByteDance's rise to the top. The article also points out three challenges: its revenue structure is overly weighted toward video generation, the stickiness of Agent Plan subscriptions remains to be verified, and the return on compute investment.

    Gartner Releases Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2027, with Non-Text AI and Agent Harness Making the List

    Gartner Research Vice President Gao Ting interpreted the "Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2027," listing ten trends: large quantitative models, voice reasoning models, world models, AI context platforms, coding agent harnesses, AI agent identity, autonomous exposure remediation, sovereign technology, disposable applications, and wetware-as-a-service. Gao Ting said that the speed of code generation has surpassed the speed of manual review, and that agent harnesses are listed as a priority for the next 1 to 3 years, but their importance may gradually diminish as model capabilities improve. The report also predicts that by 2030, more than 70% of enterprise voice interactions will be handled autonomously by voice models, and that by 2028, 25% of enterprise security vulnerability incidents will be traced to AI agent misuse.

    Yuchen Jin on whether code review will disappear

    Yuchen Jin raises the question: will code review eventually disappear? He says his team has already been automatically approving many AI-written PRs, which is much faster than waiting for humans; as models get stronger, having agents review each other's code will make less and less sense, and the endgame may be just one agent writing code and proving it runs.
