androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-18 09:00:57

Joe Maring / Android Authority This week’s iOS 26 announcement sure was an odd one, wasn’t it? Between the controversial Liquid Glass redesign and the big name jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26, this year’s iPhone update is already proving to be one of the most peculiar we’ve seen in a while. Overall reactions to iOS 26 have been a mixed bag so far, and with an update this drastic, that’s to be expected. But even though not everything about Apple’s big software update is a winner, there’s one aspect

Why OpenAI and Google's surprising new alliance makes a lot of AI sense

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2025-09-18 16:50:40

MF3d/Getty Images In geopolitics, nations with conflicting societal norms or ideological views must occasionally form alliances in the interest of protecting their mutual interests; practicality must take precedence over past rivalries. Today, a similar dynamic is starting to play out in the AI arms race. OpenAI, the AI start-up that skyrocketed to global fame following the viral success of its ChatGPT chatbot, has teamed up with Google, its longtime competitor, according to a Reuters report.
