Samsung Cuts Google Ties With Perplexity Deal

Samsung is close to sealing a major deal with Perplexity, aiming to integrate its advanced search tech across Samsung devices—alongside a significant investment that could shift the mobile AI landscape.

Details:

  • Samsung plans to preload Perplexity's app and add its search to the Samsung browser, with possible Bixby integration. Launch is expected with the Galaxy S26 in early 2026

  • Samsung is set to invest heavily in Perplexity’s $500M funding round, valuing the startup at $14B—a move showing its deep interest in the AI firm

  • The companies have discussed bold projects like an AI-powered OS and a multi-assistant platform, during recent meetings in South Korea

Samsung aims to ease Google reliance and expand AI ties. For Perplexity, it’s the biggest mobile deal yet. Apple has also shown interest, but the impact remains uncertain.

Laurene Powell Jobs Backs Jony Ive’s OpenAI Device

Jony Ive’s secretive AI device project with OpenAI has gained a major endorsement from Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs. In a rare Financial Times interview, she and Ive reflected on their connection to Jobs and their shared vision for the future of technology.

Details:

  • Powell Jobs has invested in Ive's LoveFrom design firm and the io hardware startup, positioning her to profit if OpenAI’s $6.5 billion acquisition of io leads to market success

  • Ive said his work with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman comes from recognizing past tech’s ā€œunintended consequences,ā€ believing ā€œhumanity deserves betterā€ and feeling renewed hope in technology

  • The device is still secretive, but Powell Jobs has seen its impressive progress, with each prototype improving beyond her expectations

This collaboration blends Apple’s design legacy with advanced AI. Ive and Powell Jobs recognize tech’s risks and benefits. Their shared history from Steve Jobs’ era adds emotional depth to a project aiming to reshape how we interact with technology.
