Android Authority reports a leaked Google Gemini automation app list covering 134 apps

According to Android Authority, as relayed by IT之家, a leaked app-compatibility list for Google Gemini’s task automation feature covers 134 apps across food delivery, ride-hailing, shopping, travel, and office work. The stable Android 17 QPR2 list includes 114 apps, while Android Canary adds 20 more. The feature can open apps in a virtual screen and act for users, but it still pauses before payment for confirmation. Apps such as Swiggy and Zepto were rejected in tests, and Google has not published the full list.

IT之家: Windows Latest says Microsoft may offer credits for a widespread Microsoft 365 outage

According to IT之家 and Windows Latest, Microsoft 365 suffered a prolonged outage starting Nov. 12, affecting Outlook, Teams, Copilot and OneDrive. Microsoft’s MO1550821 notice said there is no evidence of a malicious attack, and initial troubleshooting pointed to some servers becoming unexpectedly unavailable rather than a traffic surge. Affected business customers who submit claims may seek service credits under the SLA, while individual users are unlikely to receive compensation. Customers who buy directly from Microsoft can file through the admin center with the incident number.

According to MIT News AI, MIT adds human feedback to topology optimization for more manufacturable designs

MIT researchers reported a human-in-the-loop topology optimization system that acts like an AI copilot, asking designers to review regions as the algorithm generates a structure. In an open-access Communications Engineering paper, the team said the approach produced more manufacturable designs and raised linear buckling load by 39 percent, while adding only 15 seconds to total design time versus all-algorithmic methods. The researchers said the goal is to give engineers more control and trust, and to make algorithmic design more practical for industry.

MIT News AI Says Robust AI’s Carter Robot Is Already Working in Warehouses and Factories

According to MIT News AI, Robust AI’s mobile robot Carter is already deployed in logistics warehouses and on factory floors. The cart-like robot uses a force-sensitive handlebar, an AI vision system and holonomic wheels, letting workers steer it by hand, gestures or a touchscreen. The company says Carter is designed to complement human labor in picking, stocking and moving items across large facilities. Co-founders Anthony Jules and Rodney Brooks argue that success depends on how people, robots and backend systems work together.

IT之家: Axelera AI unveils Titania AIPU architecture for data-center inference

IT之家 reported that Axelera AI unveiled the architecture of Titania, its third-generation AIPU chip, on Nov. 12 local time. The chip targets data-center inference and is slated for volume production in Q3 2027, with more than $300 million in orders already booked. Titania uses two compute chiplets based on Axelera’s third-generation D-IMC architecture, has a 400W design power, and delivers up to 2.5 PFLOPS in FP8. It also integrates 128GB of LPDDR6 memory.

Reuters: Four nonprofits sue OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceXAI over advanced AI development

According to Reuters, four nonprofit groups filed suit on November 12 in San Francisco Superior Court against OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceXAI. They are asking the court to stop further development of the most advanced AI models, arguing under California unfair-competition law that products such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude could threaten public health and safety. The complaint relies heavily on the companies’ own public warnings about catastrophic AI risks and seeks an emergency injunction to pause next-generation training and deployment until human control is proven.

SpaceX plans over $74 billion in AI supercomputing campuses in Texas and Arizona

According to IT之家 and Reuters, SpaceX said on November 12 it plans to invest more than $74 billion to build two AI-focused supercomputing data center campuses in Texas and Arizona. The Texas site would be near Starbase on about 444 acres of SpaceX-owned land and include its own gas-fired power generation. The Arizona campus is budgeted at about $50 billion and still needs county approval. SpaceX said the projects would create thousands of construction jobs, while the Arizona proposal faces local opposition.

TechCrunch: Democrats open inquiry into Trump administration’s handling of Nvidia chip sales to China

According to TechCrunch, Democrats opened an inquiry on Thursday into how the Trump administration handled Nvidia’s chip sales to China. Rep. Richard Neal and Sen. Ron Wyden asked Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to preserve records tied to the export-license arrangement, and they questioned sales to Megaspeed and other Asian buyers. The letter also raised Nvidia’s donations to Trump projects and the timing of the H200 approval. It follows a separate Republican-led push for Jensen Huang to testify.

According to Ars Technica, FAA expands AI air-traffic tool SMART nationwide

According to Ars Technica, the US Federal Aviation Administration has expanded SMART, an AI system that advises air traffic controllers, to all 22 air route traffic control centers nationwide. The FAA says the $875 million cloud-based tool has rerouted 180 flights since its September 21 rollout over Washington, DC, saving an average of 10 minutes and nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight. Human FAA specialists still validate the recommendations before controllers decide whether to accept them.
