💍 Ex-Meta Team Launches Stream Ring: AI Voice Ring

Sandbar, founded by two former Meta employees, opened pre-orders for Stream Ring. This minimalist AI smart ring records voice notes and talks to a chatbot via a built-in touch-activated microphone. The ring gives haptic confirmation when a note is recorded, lets you tap to interrupt and redo, auto-transcribes interactions, and sends notes to the Stream app over Bluetooth (iOS-only at launch).

Sandbar pitches the device as "your extended self"—a "mouse for voice" that's always available so you can capture thoughts instantly. Importantly, the ring isn't always listening: it only activates when you hold the touchpad.

🟢 "China Is Going to Win the AI Race," Says Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang

That's what the head of the world's most valuable company and leading GPU manufacturer said on the sidelines of the Future of AI forum, according to FT.

Shortly after the interview was published, Nvidia posted a clarification on X:

"As I have long said, China is nanoseconds behind America in AI. It's vital that America wins by racing ahead and winning developers worldwide," the CEO explained.

Huang believes the West is holding itself back with "cynicism" and excessive state-level regulation. In China, by contrast, "power is free" for AI companies, he noted.

❌ The White House has confirmed it will not allow China to purchase Nvidia's latest Blackwell architecture chips, not even the restricted versions. Huang has repeatedly urged Washington to ease export controls, reminding that China is the largest market outside the U.S., and losing it could weaken the entire American AI industry.

Who will win the AI race?

👍 — China
🔥 — The U.S.
🎃 — What about India, the EU, and others?

🧬 Altman Backs Startup Studying Gene-Edited Embryos

Preventive, a San Francisco biotech founded this year by geneticist Lucas Harrington and funded with $30 million, is researching gene editing of human embryos to try to eliminate hereditary diseases—even though U.S. federal rules bar embryo gene-editing clinical trials. The company counts OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong among its backers.

Preventive says its goal is to show embryo editing can be done safely before any attempt to create gene-edited babies. The Wall Street Journal reports executives privately identified a couple interested in participating; Harrington has publicly denied the firm is close to implanting an edited embryo.

📱 Apple Delays iPhone Air 2 After Weak Sales

Apple has pulled the second-generation iPhone Air — originally slated for fall 2026 — after disappointing demand for the ultra-thin model that launched two months ago. The company has removed the device from the schedule and hasn't given a new release date.

Manufacturing has been sharply scaled back: Apple told engineers and suppliers the next iPhone Air is off the calendar, while partners Foxconn and Luxshare are expected to stop production of the current model by the end of November and end of October, respectively.

🤩 Toy Story 5: Technology Threatens Toys

The first trailer for Toy Story 5 is out: the toys freak out when a new character—Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee (recently in Tron: Ares) — joins the group.

The teaser also leans into the franchise's history: 30 years after Toy Story became the first CG feature and rewired animation, Pixar looks ready to reflect on itself as the "modern world" catches up to the toys. Expect a film that's both nostalgic and self-aware—details on plot and release date are still scarce.
