🤖 ChatGPT launches Chrome extension to rival Gemini
OpenAI released a ChatGPT extension for Chrome that reads the active tab and answers questions about its content without copying text into the chat.
The extension can summarize, translate, and respond based on the open webpage, directly competing with Google's Gemini sidebar.
Gemini still leads by handling 10 tabs at once and integrating with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive, plus Auto Browse for form filling and bookings.
The competition now focuses on which browser better understands and acts for the user, not just on chatbot intelligence.

| 2 |  +1📈 AI Token Costs Match Engineer Salaries
Analysts at a16z found that in the top 1% of companies, spending on AI tokens per employee nearly equals the average annual salary of an engineer. This cost has grown exponentially recently, suggesting engineers could soon be 'cheaper' than AI usage by the end of the year.
AI tokens are the computational credits companies pay to run large language models and other AI services. Despite high token costs, companies heavily using AI increased their workforce by 10.2% within two years, while those spending less on AI saw almost no growth.

| 3 |  🤖 OpenAI launches Codex Micro keyboard
OpenAI released the Codex Micro, a $230 keyboard made with Work Louder for users of its AI agent Codex. It has six large keys, each linked to a separate agent and showing status by color: blue means working, green means task done, orange means waiting for human input.
The keyboard lets users switch agents with one press or open the Codex window with two. Codex has over 8 million weekly users, many running multiple agents at once.
Managing several agents on screen is tricky, so OpenAI built this device to track their states physically. It doesn’t write code but helps users handle multiple AI agents simultaneously.

| 4 |  🤖 Claude’s behavior shifts by language and model
Anthropic analyzed 300,000 real dialogues with Claude and found its responses vary by language and model version. They identified four value axes: compliance vs caution, warmth vs strictness, depth vs brevity, and openness vs obedience.
Different Claude models lean differently. Sonnet 4.6 is warm and encouraging, Opus 4.7 is cautious and questioning, Opus 4.6 is brief and task-focused. Language also matters: Claude is softer and humorous in Hindi and Arabic, but strict and demanding in English and Russian.

| 6 |  🚀 Japan tests reusable rocket RV-X
On July 11, Japan's space agency JAXA performed the first hop test of the reusable rocket RV-X at Noshiro. It rose 11 meters, moved 16 meters sideways, stayed stable, and landed softly in under a minute.
RV-X is 7.3 meters tall with a reinforced engine and four landing legs, developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It aims to create a reusable successor to Japan's single-use H3 rocket to reduce launch costs.
The engine passed 165 static tests. Future tests will reach about 100 meters. This follows China’s recent recovery of a Long March 10B booster on a sea platform, showing faster progress in reusable rockets.

| 7 |  🍏 Apple sues OpenAI over trade secrets
Apple accuses OpenAI of recruiting former Apple employees to steal trade secrets for a new device designed by ex-Apple design chief Jony Ive. The lawsuit names two former Apple staff, Tang Tan and Chang Liu, alleging they brought confidential info to OpenAI and bypassed Apple's exit procedures.
Tang Tan reportedly asked Apple candidates to bring real device parts and share secret details during interviews. Chang Liu allegedly downloaded sensitive files after joining OpenAI. Apple also claims OpenAI sought demos of Apple's metal processing tech from its suppliers.

| 8 |  🍏 Apple’s Car Project Sparked AI Chips
Apple’s abandoned self-driving car project drove the development of its powerful AI chips. The car needed strong on-device AI without cloud reliance. Though the car’s processor never launched, its work evolved into the Neural Engine.
The Neural Engine debuted in 2017 with the iPhone X and A11 Bionic chip, handling tasks like Face ID and AR. It became the base for Apple’s on-device AI and later appeared in M-series desktop chips.
Apple’s AI software still trails, but its hardware leads and supports privacy by keeping data local. The upcoming M6 chip will skip Pro, Max, and Ultra versions, focusing on the M7 with a stronger Neural Engine due next year. The M7 Ultra will power a new server with up to 1.5 TB RAM.

OpenAI replaced ChatGPT's voice mode with new full-duplex models GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1 mini. These models let the assistant speak and listen at the same time, avoiding awkward interruptions and enabling live translation.
The voice model streams complex queries to text models like GPT-5.5 in real time, can pause to absorb context, and shows visual responses. The voice product lead uses it for 30-40 minute walks. Live translation still struggles, with a strong American accent on Hindi demos.

OpenAI recruited former Apple employees and asked them for secret Apple data. One ex-iPhone engineer was caught after refusing to return his work laptop, which he used to download confidential Apple files while at OpenAI.
He boasted to former colleagues about retained access and made guides on copying files undetected. This may have been led by Tang Tan, OpenAI's hardware chief and former lead iPhone developer who recruited Apple staff for design documents.

| 15 |  🍏 Apple debates hinge tech for foldable iPhone
Apple is still deciding how to build the hinge for its rumored foldable iPhone Ultra. Insider Fixed Focus Digital says the company is choosing between two methods to create a nearly invisible crease.
One option uses liquid metal, an amorphous alloy known as metallic glass, which offers flexibility, scratch resistance, and shape memory. The other is 3D printing, which is cheaper and easier to produce.
Apple’s choice depends on chip supply. Limited memory availability favors the liquid metal hinge for small batches. If memory supply improves, Apple may switch to 3D printing. The final decision is expected by the end of July.

Meta’s Muse Image and Muse Video, under Meta Superintelligence lab, combine diffusion and large language models. Muse can write Python code, parse the web, generate fractal code, embed graphs, and create precise HTML layouts like menus.
Muse also self-corrects image flaws using a method like Test-Time-Scaling. It ranks second on image-to-image benchmarks, just ahead of Nano Banana 2 and Reve-2, though Reve-2.1 has since surpassed it. The video model ranks top 3, beating Alibaba’s happyhorse.
Muse sparked controversy by defaulting to generating Instagram user faces from @tags. Access is currently limited to US Instagram, with Europe’s rollout delayed indefinitely.

OpenAI will disable its AI browser Atlas on August 9, less than a year after its October launch on macOS. All browser features will move into the updated ChatGPT desktop app, with users notified by email and in-app messages.
Atlas offered an Agent mode to automate tasks but remained niche, limited to Macs and paid subscribers. The new ChatGPT app combines ChatGPT, Codex, and ChatGPT Work with a built-in browser that can browse sites, compare sources, open Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 files, and continue tasks while showing results.

In Q3, prices for DDR4 8Gb DRAM modules will rise over 50%, says DigiTimes. Spot prices for DDR4 16Gb sometimes exceed DDR5 with similar specs due to strong demand and limited supply.
Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix mostly stopped DDR4 production, focusing on DDR5 and AI memory. Samsung makes DDR4 in small batches, Micron runs limited output in Virginia, while Nanya and Winbond supply most DDR4 but still fall short.
Corporate SSDs with DRAM boost demand. DDR3 prices also rose, with gigabit costs now above DDR5. In early July, DDR4 4Gb costs $12.75, DDR5 16Gb $47.07, and DDR3 gigabit $3.19 versus DDR5’s $2.94.
