LATEST AI NEWS
MICROSOFT
Just two days after OpenAI unveiled Atlas, Microsoft responded by announcing a major upgrade to its Edge browser, positioning Copilot Mode as a full-featured AI browsing assistant.
The Details:
Copilot Mode brings AI-powered browsing to Edge, featuring real-time reasoning across open tabs
Users can get summaries, compare content across sites, and perform web-based tasks like booking hotels
The assistant can fill out forms, unsubscribe from newsletters, and navigate user intent on active pages
Copilot Mode supports a clean, minimalist interface and launches globally on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS
Edge and Atlas share the same underlying models but differ in design language and ecosystem strategy
Why it matters:
With this release, Microsoft is defending its browser turf by turning Edge into an intelligent companion. The move reflects growing competition for AI-powered user experiences at the core of how we browse the internet.
OPENAI

OpenAI has acquired Software Applications Inc., the startup behind Sky, an unreleased AI assistant for macOS that can understand screen content and assist users across tasks like writing, coding, and planning.
The Details:
Sky was designed as an AI layer that sits over the macOS desktop to assist in real time
The startup was founded by the creators of Workflow, which was acquired by Apple in 2017
Co-founders include ex-Apple engineers with experience across Safari, Siri, and FaceTime
OpenAI says Sam Altman had a passive investment in the startup through a venture fund
Sky raised $6.5 million prior to the acquisition; deal terms were not disclosed
Why it matters:
This gives OpenAI a foothold in building native AI experiences for Mac users. As Apple pushes forward with its own privacy-first AI tools, OpenAI now has a team and product that could define what agentic computing on the desktop looks like.
NOETIX

Beijing-based Noetix Robotics has unveiled Bumi, a $1,370 humanoid robot built for education and home use, marking a major milestone in consumer-grade robotics.
The Details:
Bumi is 94 cm tall, weighs 12 kg, and priced at ¥9,998 ($1,370), with preorder set between Nov 11–Dec 12
Built for students and families, it supports walking, dancing, and voice interaction
Offers 1–2 hours of use per charge and supports drag-and-drop programming for beginners
Its affordability comes from a modular design, lightweight materials, and in-house motion control
Noetix previously developed the N2 humanoid, which received over 2,500 orders in China
Why it matters:
Bumi sets a new benchmark for low-cost, accessible humanoids. At a price close to a smartphone, it opens the door for widespread personal and educational use, signaling China’s growing lead in mass-market robot innovation.

AI & TECH NEWS
OpenAI is quietly developing an AI music tool that turns text or audio prompts into background scores. With Juilliard students helping prep the training data, it may soon become the Sora of sound. No launch date yet—but it could change how creators make music forever.
According to The Information, OpenAI is quietly prepping personalized ads—driven by a wave of ex-Meta staffers inside the company (630+ out of 3,000). Despite Sam Altman’s initial opposition, internal momentum is pushing toward using ChatGPT’s memory to target ads based on your chats, location, and interests. With new tools like Pulse and the Atlas browser, OpenAI could soon be raking in serious ad revenue—by acting a lot like Big Tech.
Mistral AI unveiled AI Studio, a platform to help companies scale beyond AI prototypes. With tools for observability, agent runtime, and asset governance, it’s designed for real-world, secure, and auditable AI deployments. A step toward making AI as reliable as software.
Reports reveal Beijing’s military is integrating DeepSeek models in combat support systems, target recognition, and battlefield decisions. Despite U.S. export bans, PLA research still mentions Nvidia GPUs—while a shift toward Huawei’s Ascend chips marks China’s push for AI independence
Australia’s watchdog is taking Microsoft to court, claiming it hid cheaper Office 365 plans and nudged users toward more expensive Copilot bundles. The case could cost Microsoft up to $30M per breach—and sparks a global debate on AI upsell transparency.
