Anthropic is spending $3.4 billion on Caterpillar natural gas turbines capable of up to 1.7 gigawatts, a Financial Times report cited by TechCrunch says, as AI power demand strains grids. Disney and Adobe announced a multiyear partnership to build artist-led generative AI models with Adobe Firefly Foundry for Disney characters, parks, ESPN, and studio workflows. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple is pushing to accelerate Siri into a more agentic assistant, with first-party app controls and later third-party app integration. Medium launched TK, an AI writing assistant inside its editor, intensifying debate over AI-assisted authorship. Automattic launched Spacefast, infrastructure for deploying vibe-coded apps with databases, authentication, and analytics.
