CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy argues against both AI utopianism and doomsday thinking, urging incremental, use-case driven adoption. He’s pushing teams to iterate quickly rather than commit to rigid multi-year roadmaps, and to embed AI where it directly improves how software is built, deployed, and sold. The goal: measurable efficiency gains, not blanket transformations.

Leaked One UI 8.5 builds suggest a major Bixby overhaul with “Bixby Live”—an on-device, conversational assistant experience reminiscent of Gemini Live—and a quick-access pop-up for fast queries. New modes (like tour guide or storyteller), a “Circle to Ask” feature, and Perplexity integration for complex, web-backed answers point to a more capable, chat-forward assistant. If accurate, Samsung is positioning Bixby as a more proactive, multimodal helper across devices.

Razer’s Project AVA is a desk-ready AI companion with a holographic display and avatar-driven interactions that can cheer, advise, and assist in games and daily tasks. Critics fixate on creepiness, but the piece argues the real hurdles are voice quality and platform choices (like reliance on xAI’s Grok), both fixable before launch. Preorders are open for $20, with release targeted for late 2026.

A deep dive outlines Google’s long-game OS strategy: Flutter’s Impeller renderer to kill GPU jank, Fuchsia/Zircon foundations, and an “Aluminium” push to merge ChromeOS and Android into a true desktop-capable platform. With capability-based security, FIDL-stable interfaces, and AVF virtualization, the plan targets 10+ years of device support and unified UIs across form factors. It’s an evolutionary path—starting with Microfuchsia and culminating in broader convergence—that prioritizes reliability, security, and developer reuse.

Samsung’s Galaxy Book6 lineup debuts Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chips (up to 16 cores) with NPUs rated at 50 TOPS, bringing on-device AI features alongside claimed 30-hour video playback on Pro/Ultra models.
