As RAM prices surge and RAMageddon headlines multiply, Google posted new requirements for Android app developers earlier this week. Starting in 2027, apps distributed via Google Play must work within strict memory thresholds to “help protect the overall user experience from applications using excess memory and causing system-wide slowdowns.” The idea is to prevent a

The AI race has long been framed as a zero-sum game: Either the US or China will win in the end. But as concerns pile up around the increasing capabilities of AI models—especially AI agents—researchers in both countries are trying to team up to work on AI safety. This week, contributing editor Zoë Schiffer speaks

Fully autonomous space mission operations require the ability to detect faults and compensate for them without human intervention. To address this challenge and provide model-based support for system design and operations, it is important to connect fault management (FM) and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). This approach was successfully demonstrated with the model-based generation of a
Welcome to Eye on AI. Beatrice Nolan here. In today’s issue: AI testing is getting complicated. Anthropic strengthens founder control. OpenAI targets a 2027 listing. Spirit flight attendants fight Google data bid. And Anthropic lines up more credit. The past few months have given us a glimpse of an uncomfortable new reality for AI labs.
