AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

Tesla is set to introduce Grok, a large language model developed by xAI, into its vehicles, announced Elon Musk on Thursday. According to Musk, the rollout is expected to begin next week at the latest, further strengthening the ties between the two companies led by Musk. Tesla and xAI have been deepening their synergy, with Tesla generating $198.3 million in revenue from commercial, consulting, and support agreements with xAI earlier this year. While a significant portion of this revenue came from the sale of Megapack energy storage systems to xAI, the integration of Grok marks a new chapter in Tesla's AI development. During a livestream, Musk and the xAI team showcased several upgrades to Grok 4's voice capabilities and performance metrics, positioning the large language model as competitive with top-tier models from OpenAI and Google. The in-vehicle integration of Grok is expected to introduce conversational AI directly into Tesla's vehicles' user experience, potentially improving customer interaction. Musk confirmed the news on the social media platform X, stating, "Grok is coming to Tesla vehicles very soon. Next week at the latest." This integration adds to the growing business relationship between Tesla and xAI, with Musk having previously polled X users about a potential $5 billion investment in xAI. While no formal investment has been made, 68% of poll participants voted in favor of the idea, which Musk has stated will be discussed with Tesla's board.

Microsoft still can’t make Windows 11’s New Outlook work offline because it…

Microsoft is struggling to make Windows 11's new Outlook work offline due to its web-based approach. The new Outlook is a web app that loads Outlook.com in a WebView2 container, similar to opening Outlook in an Edge tab. A recent update has added the ability to attach files while offline, a feature that has been available in the classic Outlook desktop app. The update also allows users to access more emails offline, with options to save up to 1 or 2 years of email on their device. Microsoft's refusal to create a native app is hindering the development of full-fledged offline support. The new features are rolling out widely, but the app still consumes more disk space compared to Outlook Classic.

💡 Microsoft's inability to deliver seamless offline support undermines the reliability of its enterprise email product. Limited offline capabilities can hinder productivity in areas with poor internet connectivity.

Gemini for Android using Bubbles to let you multitask & continue chats

The Gemini overlay on Android has introduced Bubbles to enable multitasking and continuous conversations. Users can access this feature by starting a conversation from the Gemini overlay, which then minimizes into a Bubble featuring the spark logo when the screen is tapped elsewhere. Tapping the Bubble expands it back into the full Gemini overlay, allowing users to resume their conversation. This update aims to let users keep talking to Gemini while performing other tasks. The feature is currently available on Android 17 QPR1 Beta, although its wider rollout has not been confirmed. The update brings a similar experience to Gemini Live's floating waveform circle.

💡 By integrating Bubbles, Gemini enhances its usability and convenience, allowing for seamless conversation continuity. This streamlined experience strengthens Gemini's assistive capabilities.

What Is BGP Hijacking? Pavel Durov Accuses Reliance of Using This Routing…

Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, has accused Indian telecom major Reliance of disrupting global access to the messaging app through alleged BGP hijacking. This internet routing exploit has affected millions of users outside India, including in the UAE.

The incident has renewed concerns over internet routing security, corporate competition, and vulnerabilities in global network infrastructure.

💡 Reliance's alleged BGP hijacking may be a symptom of a broader competitive war in the Indian tech industry, where companies are increasingly using aggressive tactics to gain an advantage. The incident highlights the need for robust internet routing security measures to prevent such exploits and protect global users from disruptions.

Elon Musk's social media platform X is experiencing a massive outage, with over 3,000 users in the US reporting issues on Downdetector.
