Jensen Huang took a call from Trump, and showed off something else, too

Jensen Huang took a call from Trump, and showed off something else, too

Correction: An earlier version of this piece identified the phone Jensen Huang used to take President Trump’s call as Apple’s iPhone Duo. That was incorrect — the device appears to be a Samsung Galaxy Fold 8. The piece has been updated to remove references to the iPhone Duo and the conclusions that were based on that error. Jensen Huangmade headlinesMonday at the All-In conference in L.A. when President Trump called him, live, on stage. But there was something else worth noting about his appearance. Huang, dressed in his now-signature alligator leather jacket, was handed afoldable phoneto answer it. Once he got Trump on speaker, the conversation turned to AI safety, and the two seemed to agree thatmounting fears about AIequate to what Trump called a “hoax.” Trump argued that the real winners of the AI panic are China and “political people,” and that the technology is too big — “bigger than the internet,” he said — to slow down over. (“Did you hear that? Thousands of people are clapping,” said Huang to Trump during this same exchange.) Whether Huang truly shares that same view or isn’t in a position to say otherwise, we’ll never know. Nvidia’s business model depends largely on AI labs buying more chips, so downplaying existential risk is the only move if he cares about his company’s share price. (It’s still up 33% for the past year but fell a few percentage points today.)

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang tells Trump ‘we’re not going to let [an AI slowdown] happen’

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang tells Trump ‘we’re not going to let [an AI slowdown] happen’

While Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was onstage at the All-In Summit on Monday morning in Los Angeles, he got a phone call that he couldn’t send to voicemail — it was from President Donald Trump. “I’m onstage with the besties,” Huang told Trump, referring to the venture capitalists who host thepodcast All-In, including tech investors Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, andWhite House advisersDavid Friedberg andDavid Sacks. In a move that will spark night terrors for public relations professionals everywhere, Huang flaunted his comfort with the president by putting Trump on speaker for conference attendees to hear. Holy crap POTUS just phoned in@JensenHuanglive on stage at All In SummitWe will not lose the ai race! And whatever Dario said this weekend won’t stop our progressThis made my morning!$NVDApic.twitter.com/Sr4wV9kMfz “The great thing about life is Jensen can develop the most complex computer chip in the world … but he can’t figure out how to put you on speaker,” Trump said on the phone. (Huang is likely aware of how speakerphones work; he was asking stagehands for an extra microphone so that he could project the call to the audience.) Onstage, Huang and the All-In hosts had been discussing Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call to “slow the paceat which we improve the capabilities of AI.” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have publicly said they agree with Amodei, while Huang’s views have diverged. “They’re just playing right in the hands of a lot of people that don’t want to see it happen,” Trump said. “That could be political people. It could also be China. And we’re not going to let that happen. It’s a hoax.” “You’re right. We’re not going to let that happen, sir,” Huang replied as the crowd broke into applause. Trump and his allies, like Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, have stated their belief that the growing sentiment against data center construction is part of aninternational psyopto stifle American economic growth. But the source of thepublic’s concernis more straightforward. Recent Gallup polling shows that seven in 10 Americansoppose the construction of data centers in their area, with more than 50% of respondents citing the effect of data centers onenvironmental resources. About 20% said they were concerned about cost-of-living increases and effects on their quality of life. “We have to be a little bit careful … We have to do things and we have to do them prudently, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop an industry,” Trump said to Huang. “So I’m with you all the way. I didn’t even know how you felt about it. I just hoped you felt the same way as me. We’re going to lead.”

A Vinyl Bar in Shibuya is a startup from a former Spotify leader for making music apps

A Vinyl Bar in Shibuya is a startup from a former Spotify leader for making music apps

As AI rages on, new startups are creating tools for people to create music using generative AI prompts in the style of any artist they want.A Vinyl Bar in Shibuya, a startup that sounds more like an indie band name, is focused on releasing a series of small apps that let you play around with sounds and vocals. The company has raised a $5.5 million pre-seed round from Mantis VC, SV Angel, BoxGroup, Quiet Capital, Remarkable Ventures, Common Metal, Gold House, Liquid 2 Ventures, Breakers VC, Collaborative Fund, Systemic Ventures, and former Spotify chief content and advertising business officer, Dawn Ostroff, who joined the company as an advisor. The startup is built by Máuhan M. Zonoozy, who was the former head of innovation at Spotify. Prior to that, he founded a video clipping and remixing startup called Bubbl, which was acquired by Cricket Media. Zonoozy, who left Spotify in 2024, said that he always wanted to go back to building something of his own. He thought that while streaming solved the access problem, most of the interaction with music was still around consumption. “I think when I looked at emergent behaviors and younger audiences, like everyone’s growing up playing with culture through games, through filters, through creation tools. And I just felt like there was an opportunity to empower people to do something similar with music,” he told TechCrunch. The startup releases these experiments like “singles” that are part of an album. The common theme between all of these apps or websites is interacting with different elements to create music or modify sound. For instance,Speed Surferis a Chrome extension that changes the speed and filter of sound playing in your browser window. Usersound is a website where you can create an “audio” username with each letter representing a note.Stacksis a stem player where you can create mixes by turning bars on or off in a 3×3 grid.Dropsis about placing plaques in a pattern to deflect marbles falling down, which creates musical notes. Sampler is a website that turns YouTube videos into music samplers based on beats of different parts of the songs. The company’s more ambitious product is an iOS app calledbop. This lets you place musical instruments and effects in a grid to create different mixes of a base song. You can also adjust tempo and add one-time effects. Once you create these mixes, you can easily export them to TikTok or Instagram. A Vinyl Bar in Shibuya is also working on a multiplayer version, which would let users remix songs with others. The company recently added a prompt-based feature to create a sound. Zonoozy said that it is making an informed choice not to infuse AI into every part of these apps. He is open to using AI to build these products and to make infrastructure solid, though. “AI is obviously extraordinarily powerful, but I think we just don’t necessarily believe that the future of music is simply generation, like song generation via AI. And I think if AI starts to make that content more abundant, it actually makes taste and human perspective and interaction and participation even more important and even more valuable. And we’re just trying to make sure it doesn’t make it even rarer,” he said. This year, the company aims to release a “musical sandbox mixer” product that would let users play around with different elements of music-making, including being able to create instruments. The story title was changed because, at the time of testing last month, there were no prompt-based features in the startup’s apps. The company added prompt-based features more recently to its apps.

Fashion app Daydream uses Apple Intelligence to help you shop the outfits in your camera roll

Fashion app Daydream uses Apple Intelligence to help you shop the outfits in your camera roll

Daydream, an AI-powered fashion discovery app, launched two new features on Monday to let iPhone users turn saved outfit photos into shoppable results and search for clothing and accessories through Siri, without opening the app. The new features were built using Apple’s iOS 27 developer tools, which officially rolled out today. To use either feature, you’ll need an iPhone running iOS 27 with Siri AI enabled, along with the Daydream app installed. The app is free to download oniOS devices. The first feature uses Apple’s image-context capabilities, letting users shop from images already saved in their Photos app. Daydream analyzes the outfit in the image, identifies its individual pieces, and automatically surfaces shoppable matches and similar styles from Daydream’s catalog of roughly 3 million products. That means a screenshot of an outfit found on Instagram or Pinterest could become the starting point for a shopping search. Daydream can break down the image into relevant items, such as a sweater, pants, shoes, or accessories, and match them with products available through its collection. If the exact item in the photo is still available, Daydream can match the image back to the retailer selling it. If it’s no longer available, the app will instead surface similar options. It can also handle requests for variations on what appears in an image. “I like this sweater but want it in red,” for example, is the kind of request Daydream can understand, Julie Bornstein, co-founder and CEO of Daydream, explained to TechCrunch. The second feature is a Siri-powered natural-language search function. Users can make requests by voice or text through Siri without having to open Daydream’s app. A user could say, “Hey, Siri, search Daydream for a cool blazer for my board meeting on Monday,” and Daydream then provides results personalized to them. Bornstein adds that the experience can be more tailored if users have set up Daydream’s “Style Passport,” which asks for details such as their sizes, preferred brands, personal style, and budget. The company joins a growing number of AI shopping tools designed to rethink product discovery, such as big names likeGoogleandAmazon, as well as some smaller players likeOntonandAlta. But Bornstein believes that Daydream’s latest features offer something special that a lot of these other tools just can’t match. “Most visual search tools don’t have the fashion category expertise, so they return results that don’t feel accurate, from brands that aren’t credible, or they link you to nonshoppable images,” she said. The launch fits into Daydream’s broader bet on AI-powered fashion shopping. The company sees these new features as more than stand-alone shopping tools. Its longer-term ambition is to build a shopping agent. “This is one step toward the bigger vision, [which is] a shopping agent that understands someone’s style well enough to work across every surface in their life, not just on one surface,” Bornstein said. “Expect us to keep going deeper into on-device intelligence and further into the everyday moments where people are already discovering things they want.” Daydream’s app launched last year and touts that it has more than 1.5 million shoppers browsing products from more than 325 retailers and 10,000 brands. Its retail lineup includes brands such as Anthropologie, Dolce & Gabbana, Uniqlo, J.Crew, Reformation, Gucci, and Nordstrom.

With iOS 27, I’m actually using Siri again

With iOS 27, I’m actually using Siri again

For years, I barely used Siri for anything beyond menial tasks like setting timers or alarms. That has changed with iOS 27, as I now repeatedly use Siri for complex requests and to make sense of on-screen context. While Siri is clearly front and center in this software update by Apple, I also enjoy many of the other quality-of-life updates. I have been using iOS 27 on my main device since the public beta version was released, and on another device through the developer beta before that. I have really enjoyed using the new Siri, often trying to find new use cases for it — and that’s possibly the biggest win for Apple, given that I, like many people, had given up on Siri before this update. Over two years ago, Apple introduced Apple Intelligence and teased anadvanced version of Siri. And aftermultipledelays, the company is finally shipping it, and it doesn’t disappoint. Built on the back of Google’s Gemini models, Siri is much smarter than its previous version, which was built on extended knowledge and a shaky ChatGPT integration. It also has a new logo and transition animation. For starters, I asked Siri about several different things in the area of sports, ranging from World Cup matches to team lineups and scores. There were some hiccups in the earlier developer versions, but most of the information was correct. Siri can also take complex, multistep directions. For instance, I asked it to find small or hidden and useful features for iOS 27 and add them to a note, and it did a good job of that. Plus, Siri can draft a message for you and send it to someone. And because Siri can fetch context from your files, messages, and email, you can also ask it to look up a conversation, like one related to a delivery, and have it create a message for returns. Siri’s on-screen context was a big blessing, too. I could ask trivial questions like who was the oldest player on the pitch when I was looking at lineups for two teams in the World Cup, or have it read the text on-screen out loud when I didn’t want to read. When I was on a startup’s website, I could ask Siri to look up its funding information and competitors. One of my favorite use cases was surfing around coffee Reddit for new roasters and beans, and asking Siri to add it to a specific note. I did face a few difficulties in getting Siri to add it to the right note, but eventually I dumbed down the note’s name for better consistency. The Camera app also now has Siri access, which means you can ask questions about things that are visible in your viewfinder. When I was at a restaurant, I asked Siri what drink I was holding. Because of the color of the drink, it said, “This is green juice,” which is a good first visual assumption. When I specified that I was at an Indian restaurant, it correctly said this could be Jaljeera or Aam Panna. (It was the latter.) I also took a photo of the restaurant’s sign and asked Siri to suggest the best items from its menu. You can also take a photo of a coffee bag and ask Siri for the best way to brew the coffee. With iOS 27, Siri AI gets a dedicated app that lets you return to your previous chats. In Settings, users can change Siri’s voice and expressiveness, as well. The new assistant is positioned to work with other, third-party apps, and as developers update their apps after the operating system rolls out, it will be interesting to see if there is a smooth handoff between Siri and apps. Apple Intelligence powers a number of AI features in iOS 27. For instance, Apple has sprinkled vibe-coding features within the new OS. The first is a Shortcuts creation feature that lets you describe shortcuts and automations in natural language to create them. That means you can start with a simple request, like “Show me today’s to-do items every morning at 8 a.m.” or “convert photo to JPEG,” instead of having to figure out how to craft the shortcut yourself. After the shortcut is created, you can make it more complex by adding more steps, like “convert selected photos to JPEG and share them through AirDrop.” I always wanted to create a list of songs that I heard and liked in bars and cafes, so I made a shortcut to Shazam the song and save both the track and location. You can also now create a custom alert in Safari to track changes to a page like a blog, item pricing, or a privacy policy page. The Photos app has some new handy tools like “reframe” and “extend.” I found they don’t always work that well, but in some cases, they can make an image look better. Meanwhile, Apple has definitely improved its eraser functionality, which now leaves fewer strange artifacts when you remove an object. With Apple Intelligence, when you get certain messages such as information for an event or location, smart suggestions will ask if you’d like to add them to your Calendar or Notes. What’s more, the Passwords app can now automatically change passwords on your behalf by logging into a site. Before discussing any other features, I have to say that I love the new clipboard feature. This lets you paste anything — including links, photos, videos, and text — from one app to another easily. Once the item is in your clipboard, you see a shortcut button saying “paste from Safari” (or similar) on the keyboard, which lets you paste the item. I have been using this feature frequently, and I can’t stress enough how life-changing this is despite it being a small change. In addition, iOS 27 addresses people’s gripes about the look of Liquid Glass. Users can now change its transparency based on their preferences. The control is granular, so you don’t have to choose from presets, either. Apple also introduced intelligent network switching in this update, which automatically flips the connection from Wi-Fi to mobile data if there are issues with the wireless connection. The switching is seamless and very handy when you are doing important work, so you don’t lose your internet connection. The update focuses a lot on child safety as well, as it includes a new setup flow that automatically recommends essential apps. Plus, parents can set schedules, time limits, and allowances for different days of the week. Guardians can get notifications when children are accessing new websites and can approve that access remotely. And the system displays a warning when children are exposed to nudity in Messages, FaceTime, and other apps. Besides Siri AI, iOS 27 doesn’t have many marquee features, but it makes everyday life much easier. In previous years, I would have defaulted to going to ChatGPT or Gemini to get answers for a question. But with iOS 27, I find myself using Siri more often, even though I don’t live in Apple’s Messages and Mail apps. iOS 27 is rolling out to all users with iPhone 11 or later and iPhone SE (second gen) or later. Users can go to Settings > General > Software Update to download the latest version.

OpenAI buys smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging for $300 million, report says

OpenAI buys smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging for $300 million, report says

OpenAI has bought smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging in a deal worth over $300 million, according to a report fromthe Wall Street Journal. The company, founded in 2019 and based in Los Altos, California, had previously raised about $30 million in funding from investors. Glass Imagingwas founded by Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, a pair of former Apple engineers who previouslyled the teamthat developed Apple’s Portrait Mode. This background directly informs the work they now do at Glass Imaging, where they use AI to overcome the physical size constraints of smartphone cameras. Rather than using AI to edit a photo after it’s been taken, Glass Imaging uses neural networks to learn about individual camera systems — like the different cameras on various smartphone models — to yield better images from the moment the shutter clicks. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The ChatGPT maker is rumored to be working on its own hardware, likesmartphones,earbuds, andAI companion devices. In 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and famed Apple designer Jony Ive revealed that they had beenworking togetheron a device startup called io, when OpenAI bought Ive’s company for $6.5 billion.

Hear how AI can engineer nature’s comeback at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

Not long ago, bringing an extinct species back to life belonged to science fiction. Today, it’s the mission of a billion-dollar startup. Advances in artificial intelligence, genetics, and computational biology are changing what’s possible in conservation research, raising questions that extend far beyond the laboratory. If technology can help revive extinct species, should it? And what role should AI play in shaping the future of biodiversity? Those are the questions at the center of “Can We Engineer Nature’s Comeback?,” a Real World AI Stage fireside chat atTechCrunch Disrupt 2026. Joining the conversation isBen Lamm, co-founder and CEO ofColossal Biosciences, a company pioneering efforts to bring extinct species back through advances in synthetic biology and AI. Rather than focusing solely on the science, the discussion explores the technologies behind de-extinction, the role AI now plays in modern biology, and the growing debate over whether engineering nature represents a conservation breakthrough — or a distraction from protecting the ecosystems we already have. Disrupt returns to Moscone Westin San Francisco, October 13–15, bringing together 10,000+ founders, investors, and operators for 250+ sessions exploring the technologies and market forces shaping what’s next.Hear one of this year’s most provocative conversations.Secure your pass to Disrupt. AI is already reshaping software, robotics, and scientific research. Biology may be its next frontier.

Superhuman acquires YC-backed notetaker Fathom as productivity platforms push for agentic work

Superhuman acquires YC-backed notetaker Fathom as productivity platforms push for agentic work

Superhuman is joining the cadre of productivity platforms launching notetakers — but rather than building one internally, it is acquiring Y Combinator-backed Fathom. AI-powered productivity platforms aim to automate work. Typically, that automation is triggered when a user types prompts and creates workflows. It would be even better, however, if AI could proactively start work, and for that, the topics and action items discussed in meetings are key. Hence the desire bySuperhumanand similar platforms to move into notetaking. To date,Fathom, which was founded in 2020, has raised over $30 million in funding, and it was valued at $94 million in 2024, according to data from PitchBook. Its investors include Zoom Apps Fund, Telescope Partners, BoxOne Ventures, and Maven Ventures. Its cap table also includes individuals such as Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, former Twitch CEO Emmett Shear, and Cruise co-founder Kyle Vogt. The notetaker offers a generous free plan, and that has resulted in over 400,000 monthly active users. The company said that over 1 million people have recorded meetings until now. TechCrunch learned that earlier this year, Superhuman tested a notetaker internally with select users, but eventually chose to acquire a finished product to integrate with its productivity suite, with AI at the center. Shishir Mehrotra, Superhuman’s CEO, acknowledged this; he said that in the process of testing, the company realized how hard it is to create a notetaker. “We’ve been working internally on this area for a while as well. I think it greatly increased our confidence in the demand in this category. It also becomes very clear how deep the products in this category are and how much you need to build. A lot of these products make the job feel really easy, but it’s actually quite tricky to do a great job in all parts [of meeting recording],” Mehrotra told TechCrunch over a call. Mehrotra said that he was impressed with some of the technical intricacies built by the Fathom team, but didn’t elaborate on which ones. He did tease that with a notetaker, Superhuman can work on surfacing meeting context in real time. Competition in the meeting notetaker space is intense, and startups likeGranola,Read AI, and new entrantWisprhave raised millions of dollars to aid that growth. Despite having a healthy customer base or revenue run rate, venture-backed notetakers are feeling the heat from the market to do more than just notetaking. Some of these factors did matter in Superhuman acquiring Fathom, while Fathom’s CEO Richard White said that Superhuman’s 40 million user base was a good opportunity to reach users at scale. “The reach of Superhuman is massive. I have always thought about M&A in terms of speed of building a product that everyone uses, and a part of that comes down to distribution. If we were to operate Fathom as a stand-alone company, we would have to build a lot of things that are already in the Superhuman platform,” he said. On the platform front, Superhuman already hasan email client, a docs app, a calendar, a database solution, anda newly launched AI agent builder platform. With a meeting notetaker in the middle, Superhuman can draft emails, update data entries, schedule follow-up meetings, and have AI agents start work and extract insights from meeting data.
