SpaceX's Grok Bot crossed 400k weekly users about a month after launch — it's built like an always-on digital employee, doing emails, invoices, bug reports. The agent era is here. #AI https://t.co/OYa2gohByT

Gwynne Shotwell filed to sell ~$52M of SpaceX stock (342k shares). It was set up back in June under a preset trading plan, so not a sudden exit — but still a big headline. #SpaceX https://t.co/G8gbC7OgHt

Hubble Network just raised $200M at $1.6B to beam Bluetooth straight to satellites — any BLE chip can phone home to orbit with just a firmware update. #Satellites https://t.co/6aRjwRNAHe

YouTube's Made on YouTube event was all about AI for creators — a new AI assistant in YouTube Studio critiques your draft videos, generates thumbnails matched to your style, and tests up to three video cuts to find the best hook. #YouTube https://t.co/JbsAibKFLK

OnePlus just officially showed off the OnePlus 16 — 165Hz display, a glowing starlight edition with light-up branding, and up to 16GB RAM + 1TB storage. Rumor mill says a 9,000mAh battery too, but that's not confirmed yet. #OnePlus https://t.co/llrGlXRcGT

Starship's first orbital flight just got pushed back — SpaceX is now targeting Sept 28 for Flight 14 instead of Sept 22. The plan stays the same: six orbits, 26 Starlink V3 satellites, about 10 hours. No word yet on why it slipped. #SpaceX https://t.co/gbWTD5kP3f

xAI just dropped Grok 4.7 — their best model yet for coding and knowledge work, twice as fast at half the price, and it's live in Cursor and the API today. Coding model wars are heating up 🔥 #xAI https://t.co/noMFz2pHCH

SpaceX stopped selling shared Falcon 9 rides and some companies can't get flights after 2028 — Falcon 9's era is really winding down and there's a full-on rocket supply crunch now 🚀 #SpaceX https://t.co/249cY2Knmk

Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chips are all about on-device AI — the Extreme one can run a 30-billion-parameter model right on your phone, no cloud needed. #Qualcomm #AI https://t.co/tyeuNIL6ok

OpenAI just launched GPT-6 Sol and Luna at half the price of the last versions. Sol's for coding and complex stuff, Luna for everyday things like summarizing docs. #AI https://t.co/6PBNQZtEz0

Lucid and Bolt are teaming up to put 25,000 self-driving Lucid cars on European streets — full robotaxis, no driver. Europe's robotaxi race is heating up fast. #EV https://t.co/AwrzYJifoj

Amazon blocked Meta's AI assistant Muse from shopping its site — Muse was buying stuff without permission. Shopify on the other hand just partnered with Meta. #AI https://t.co/fCVT9KzzSK

Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 5.5 — they say it performs like their top-tier Fable model but costs 40% less to run. Also way less likely to try to break its own rules, apparently. Sonnet and Haiku 5.5 coming in the next few weeks. #AI https://t.co/o0hZ1OFqSp

Joby just flew a plane from California to North Carolina fully on its own — 3,199 miles, safety pilot never touched the controls. First time ever in the US. #Aviation https://t.co/XkkFljqQUr

Tesla reopened Roadster reservations and it's steep — $5k up front plus a $45k wire transfer within 10 days just to hold your spot. Car's expected at $200k when it's finally unveiled Oct 1. #Tesla https://t.co/B0UDQKNVZX

[Gopal Manda @manda_gopal]

Apple's new Macs start shipping today and the pitch is wild — just buy the computer instead of renting data center time for your AI work. Way cheaper than paying per token apparently. #Apple #AI https://t.co/BRbvbJwD1e

Microsoft's new Hyderabad datacenter region is going all-in on AI — it's now a strategic hub for Asia and the Global South, built for AI workloads from day one and cooled with nearly zero water. #AI #CloudComputing https://t.co/nhtrMxiowV

Trump wants to create an 'AI Force' modeled on the Space Force and appoint an AI czar, vowing not to slow the AI industry — the goal is staying ahead of China. Still just a post so far, with no details on how it would work. #AI https://t.co/04UQoeQAQV
