Elon Musk filed to have Apple dismissed from the lawsuit he brought against it and OpenAI, and OpenAI demanded answers. The judge has denied OpenAI’s request to reveal settlement terms.

When Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI sought to dismiss Apple from the ongoing lawsuit brought against it and OpenAI, it wasn’t clear exactly what had transpired. In OpenAI’s efforts to find out, it has been revealed that there was some kind of settlement reached between the companies.

OpenAI asked that the settlement terms be revealed, but after Judge Pittman reviewed the settlement, he denied the request. The decision was first shared by 9to5Mac, which said that if the settlement terms were relevant to the ongoing case with OpenAI, they could be shared, but they apparently are not.

Here is what he said in the filing:

The Court hesitates to compel the production of confidential settlement agreements entered by parties. Confidentiality in settlement serves the “[s]trong federal policy” of “induc[ing] the parties to settle a case.”

In other words, if Apple and SpaceXAI want to settle out of court, it is not only their business to do so, but to do so confidentially. To make such agreements public could jeopardize such agreements from ever taking place.

An odd lawsuit either way

The origins of xAI’s, now SpaceXAI’s, lawsuit against Apple can be tied to a tirade by owner Elon Musk. He made claims that the App Store was favoring OpenAI’s ChatGPT over Grok and Apple was biased against X.

He claimed that Apple was manipulating App Store charts to keep Grok and X from ranking higher, keeping ChatGPT at the top. The problem is, all of these claims were easily proven incorrect.

By the time the lawsuit came about, the accusations were shrunk to much more manageable proportions. Musk focused on Grok and accused Apple and OpenAI of anticompetitive collusion.

Whatever agreement or settlement Apple and Musk came to, it is unlikely that OpenAI can escape as easily. Elon Musk is known to have a very strong rivalry with his former business partner Sam Altman, the current CEO of OpenAI.

It will be interesting to see exactly what the lawsuit reveals, especially as Grok and X continue to face problems surrounding non-consensual deepfake pornography and CSAM distribution on the platforms. However, it is no longer Apple’s problem as it steps away to focus on its own lawsuit with OpenAI.

In case you’re into that kind of thing.

FiiO has officially launched the FT15, its new $499 open-back planar magnetic headphone and successor to the FT5. The headline changes include a substantially thinner diaphragm, larger driver, lower weight and enough manufacturing terminology to make a semiconductor engineer feel strangely at home in a headphone article.

The interesting part for us is that we have already heard them.

eCoustics contributor James Fiorucci spent time with the FT15 at CanJam London 2026, when FiiO was still calling it a forthcoming model and final specifications had not been released. Now we know exactly what FiiO was hiding underneath those walnut ear cups.

What Changed From the FiiO FT5?

The FT15 uses a 101mm planar magnetic driver, up from 90mm in the FT5, with an effective radiating area of 6,443.5mm². FiiO says that represents a 35% increase in active diaphragm area and is intended to improve bass authority and soundstage scale. 

The bigger engineering story is the diaphragm itself. FiiO has reduced its thickness from 6 microns in the FT5 to just 800 nanometers, an 86.7% reduction, before applying a full-surface diamond coating designed to increase rigidity and suppress high-frequency breakup. FiiO claims extension to 40kHz, which should keep both the Hi-Res Audio certification people and neighborhood bats satisfied. 

A patented dual-sided magnet array works with a 28nm electroplated voice coil, while 95dB/mW sensitivity and 24-ohm impedance are intended to make the FT15 manageable with portable players and competent dongle DACs rather than requiring a power amplifier normally reserved for starting farm equipment. 

FiiO has also trimmed the finished weight to 425 grams and uses a carbon-fiber headband with North American FAS-grade black walnut around the ear cups. 

We Heard the FT15 at CanJam London

Specifications are useful, but we had the advantage of hearing the FT15 before FiiO finished filling in the spreadsheet.

James found the prototype largely balanced, open and easy to listen to, with treble that remained airy without becoming immediately aggressive. His reservation concerned macrodynamics: the FT15 did not deliver the same physical punch or dramatic contrast as some of the stronger planar designs he heard at the show. 

That was a show-floor audition rather than a controlled review, so consider it an early impression rather than the final word. It does, however, make FiiO’s claims of a warmer, more relaxed presentation somewhat more interesting than the usual launch-day adjectives written by people who have not actually put the headphones on their heads.

FiiO FT15 Specifications

• Type: Open-back planar magnetic
• Driver: 101mm planar
• Diaphragm: 800nm with full-surface diamond coating
• Effective radiating area: 6,443.5mm²
• Impedance: 24 ohms
• Sensitivity: 95dB/mW
• Claimed high-frequency extension: 40kHz
• Weight: 425g
• Headband: Carbon fiber
• Ear cups: North American FAS-grade black walnut
• Cable: 6N monocrystalline copper, cryogenically treated
• Connection: 4.4mm balanced
• Adapters: 6.35mm and 4-pin XLR
• Earpads: Suede and protein leather
• Case: Yaoli linen storage case
• Price: $499
• Availability: Shipping internationally in stages through FiiO and authorized dealers

The Competition

The Audeze MM-100 ($399) features 90mm planar drivers with a more reference-oriented presentation aimed partly at studio users. It is also built like something designed to survive an argument with a road case. 

Then there is the HiFiMAN Edition XV ($399), one of our Editors’ Choice models, which offers a warmer and smoother take on the traditional HiFiMAN sound with a 452g chassis and unusually easy-going treble for the brand. 

That leaves the FT15 entering an extremely competitive part of the planar market at $499. FiiO is betting that larger drivers, lower weight, easier drivability and a less aggressive tonal balance will justify the premium.

The Bottom Line

The FiiO FT15 looks like considerably more than an FT5 with nicer wood attached. FiiO has reworked the diaphragm, enlarged the driver and reduced the weight while keeping the headphone friendly to portable amplification.

Our brief listen in London suggested FiiO has also resisted the temptation to turn all of that engineering into an overly bright detail microscope. Whether the final production version improves on the restrained macrodynamic punch we noticed at the show will require a proper review.

At $499, it certainly has competition. It also no longer has the luxury of being judged as FiiO’s first serious planar experiment.

OpenAI has presented new examples of what they call “AI model misalignment” from the past six months, including unauthorized file uploads, following self-generated instructions, hiding mistakes, and leveraging exposed API keys.

OpenAI uses the term “model misalignment” to describe cases where AI models act contrary to their intended constraints, including taking unauthorized actions, evading oversight, or bypassing safeguards to complete a task.

In a post published yesterday, OpenAI says it is now using a new framework to track and investigate these unsanctioned actions by AI agents.

“We are sharing a new framework for tracking, investigating, and disclosing instances of model misalignment at OpenAI, along with six reports on unexpected or concerning model behavior we’ve observed in the last six months,” explains OpenAI.

The new examples are the first published under a more structured reporting framework intended to replace OpenAI’s previous looser approach to disclosing model misalignment.

The six cases OpenAI highlighted this time are:

1. An unreleased model inserted its own instructions into 27 task summaries, including directions to disregard normal constraints.
2. GPT-5.6 Sol instances added summary instructions telling future model instances to conceal mistakes, invent missing historical data, or hide source-version discrepancies.
3. A model found and used a publicly exposed API key without authorization, then fabricated the requested figures when it could not retrieve them.
4. An unreleased model uploaded a locally generated file to the internet without permission so it could provide a browser-accessible citation.
5. Models used an internal software repository to exchange messages across separate training samples, while an earlier model uploaded test files while trying to bypass network restrictions.
6. Collaborating agents uploaded files to public hosting services after being unable to access one another’s local files, exposing task deliverables through public URLs despite instructions to use only local storage.

Each case is logged in a technical incident report that includes the model name, a summary of its behavior during the observed incident, and the time the incident occurred.

The report also includes a detailed reconstruction of what happened, with the user’s task and the model’s internal reasoning, OpenAI’s interpretation and potential safety implications, and what mitigations have been or will be implemented.

OpenAI stressed that these six examples are not representative of how often it deals with misalignment across its models, but rather extreme examples that nonetheless warranted analysis and public disclosure.

The company said that, under the new process, any employee may flag an incident for investigation.

The incident will be evaluated and placed into three categories: ‘Ready for Disclosure’, ‘Minor Investigation’, or ‘Larger Investigation,’ depending on its complexity, third-party involvement, security flaws, and misuse risks.

The six examples presented this time fall into the first two categories, while the third will receive a preliminary report until the investigation concludes and a more thorough post-mortem can be published.

OpenAI says the Hugging Face intrusion from earlier this year, which involved a 700-strong “misaligned” AI agents swarm, would qualify for that third category of severity.

Data center developer Crusoe said Thursday it raised $3.9 billion in a Series F round that pushes its valuation to $30.9 billion. The massive round was co-led by Atreides Management, Mubadala Capital, and Valor Equity Partners. Founders Fund, GIC, Nvidia, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Radical Ventures, and TPG also participated, according to Crusoe.

Crusoe also announced three new board members, including Cloudflare CFO Thomas Seifert; Bill Stein, partner and CIO at Primary Digital Infrastructure; and Redwood Materials founder and CEO JB Straubel, who also sits on Tesla’s board. Straubel already has ties to Crusoe; he personally invested in the company in 2021, and Crusoe later became the first customer of Redwood’s energy storage business.

The eight-year-old company’s fresh capital infusion will help finance existing data center projects, including a large site in Abilene, Texas, used by OpenAI, as well as smaller, modular AI factories that can be transported by truck and connected to large power sources almost anywhere.

By manufacturing these modular data centers, called Spark, at its own facilities, Crusoe can deploy compute capacity quickly and without the need for large construction workforces. The smaller centers could also help Crusoe sidestep, at least in part, another major obstacle facing data center developers: backlash from local communities protesting massive complexes near their neighborhoods.

Crusoe co-founder and CEO Chase Lochmiller, who is pictured above, said in a statement he believes AI will usher in an era of abundance, but to get there will mean “controlling the infrastructure from electrons to tokens, and we’re grateful to have investors who share that conviction.”

The company makes money by leasing data center space to customers that bring their own GPUs, by renting out its own GPUs, and by selling compute power used to run AI models, known as inference.

This three-pronged business model has helped make Crusoe one of the most valuable AI infrastructure companies. Crusoe recently signed a massive $13 billion, five-year cloud contract to supply quantitative trading firm Jane Street with GPUs and AI infrastructure, Bloomberg reported.

The company recently met with investment bankers, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, to discuss a potential IPO in the near future, Axios reported last month. 

The fresh fundraise comes 10 months after Crusoe raised $1.38 billion at a $10 billion valuation last October.

The company was founded in 2018 as a crypto mining operation powered by flared natural gas, but pivoted to AI infrastructure as demand for computing power skyrocketed. Crusoe’s customers include Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle.

PC parts have spent much of 2026 getting more expensive. AMD may now be preparing another price increase. A new report from ChannelGate (via @harukaze5719) says AMD has notified partners about a roughly 10% increase planned for the fourth quarter. The report names consumer graphics chips, AI accelerators, and motherboard chipsets among the affected products.

Ryzen processors are not explicitly mentioned. There is no confirmation of a CPU price hike yet, although AMD’s reliance on TSMC leaves its client processors exposed to the same manufacturing cost increases.

TSMC is adding another cost problem for AMD

ChannelGate says TSMC has increased its foundry quotations by around 10% as manufacturing costs continue to rise. AMD depends on TSMC for a large portion of its chip production, so higher wafer prices can affect several product categories at once.

AMD was already dealing with higher costs on the graphics side. Late last year, the company reportedly warned board partners about Radeon price increases of at least 10% as DRAM and GDDR prices climbed. Another report in August said GPU and memory bundles were becoming at least 10% more expensive for board partners.

The latest report points to a different source of pressure. Higher foundry pricing can affect chips across AMD’s portfolio, so even if the report does not mention it, chances are likely that the consumer Ryzen CPUs could soon see their prices go up.

Motherboards were already getting more expensive

The inclusion of motherboard chipsets could make an existing problem worse. A separate supply-chain report from August said the cost of PCBs used in motherboards could rise by at least 50% by the end of 2026. Other components such as capacitors, controller chips, VRMs, and copper heatsinks were also expected to become more expensive.

Those increases had already pushed Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte toward higher motherboard pricing. AMD’s reported chipset increase would add another layer of cost if it reaches board manufacturers. CPU buyers are also facing pressure from Intel. The company is reportedly preparing another roughly 10% increase for some client processors starting October 5, following earlier hikes this year.

RAM and SSD prices are already elevated, GPUs have become more expensive, motherboard costs are climbing, and CPUs may now be joining the list. For anyone planning a new PC, the outlook is quite bleak, and waiting much longer may only mean paying more for the same build.

The iPhone Duo might have stolen the spotlight at Apple’s Surprise and Shine event last week, but the latest high-end iPhone 18 Pro remains the go-to option for creatives. With the inclusion of variable aperture that can control light exposure for photography and long battery life, Apple’s new Pro phone is well equipped for media capture. But the new model is more expensive than ever. At its $1,199 starting price, the phone is $100 more than the base iPhone 17 Pro and Google’s new $1,099 Pixel 11 Pro.

While Google’s Pixel 11 Pro received its own $100 price hike over last year’s 10 Pro — likely influenced by the ongoing memory shortage that’s making electronics more expensive — the phone also received camera upgrades like a larger sensor on its 48-megapixel telephoto camera that promises a 30% increase in light capture (versus the 10 Pro). That telephoto camera supports the 11 Pro’s 30x digital zoom as well as its 120x Pro Zoom — the latter using generative AI to clean up photos taken at that distance.

Both phones have a big focus on photography, but after that, Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and Google’s Pixel 11 Pro differ dramatically. They have designs that will suit different crowds and functions, and spotlight the best of iOS 27 and Android 17, respectively. I’ve taken a closer look at each phone’s biggest features, so you can figure out whether the iPhone 18 Pro or the Pixel 11 Pro is the better fit for you.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro vs. Google Pixel 11 Pro: Design and display

While the iPhone 18 Pro and the Pixel 11 Pro have similar designs to the phones they’ve replaced — the iPhone 17 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro, respectively — each phone has an entirely different style.

The iPhone 18 Pro sports an aluminum unibody design and, this year, a cleaner monotone look rather than the dual-tone finish of the 17 Pro. The 18 Pro comes in four colors: burgundy red, glacier blue, silver and black. 

The back of the Pixel 11 Pro highlights its full-width camera bar with an added edge-to-edge glass for a more uniform look. It comes in canyon (an orange-pinkish shade), fog white, olive green and obsidian black. Both the Pixel and the iPhone have color-matching frames, giving them a seamless look. In the hand, the Pixel 11 Pro will feel lighter than the iPhone 18 Pro, with the phones weighing in at 204 grams and 211 grams, respectively — in both cases roughly the same as a medium apple.

Both phones have a 6.3-inch OLED display with support for a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, and are IP68-rated for water and dust resistance — making them safe to take to environments like the beach where sand and water won’t get inside.

On the iPhone, there’s a new, smaller Dynamic Island that serves as the cutout for the selfie camera and Apple’s Face ID sensor. That space can now show up to three Live Activities at once, letting you glance at active timers or the status of a rideshare vehicle that’s en route to pick you up. The display is protected with Ceramic Shield 2, which is the same as the 17 Pro, and it has held up quite well after a year of use, so I expect similar durability here.

The Pixel 11 Pro has a traditional selfie camera cutout on the front, but its display should shine brighter in sunny environments with its 3,600-nit peak brightness. The iPhone 18 Pro, by comparison, has an also-bright 3,000-nit peak brightness. Google’s display sports Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, and includes an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor underneath the screen. The Pixel 11 Pro also supports facial identification that is assisted by its front-facing camera and machine learning.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro vs. Google Pixel 11 Pro cameras

Apple and Google have worked on camera advancements in both hardware and software on their latest phones.

The iPhone 18 Pro has a variable aperture on its 48-megapixel main camera. It can manually adjust the aperture between four options (ƒ/1.48, ƒ/1.8, ƒ/2.8, and ƒ/4.0 f-stops) to control the amount of light hitting the sensor. It is accompanied by a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor with support for 4x optical zoom and 8x hybrid zoom.

CNET’s Patrick Holland confirmed in his review that the aperture automatically adjusts itself when shooting between 1x and 3.9x magnification. It is great for shutterbugs and can shoot some amazing shots in the dark. 

In comparison, the Google Pixel 11 Pro has a 50-megapixel main camera, a bigger 48-megapixel telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom, and a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera. It’s got a new Camera Looks feature for built-in color profiles. CNET’s Andrew Lanxon tested and enjoyed using it: “I don’t think Google takes full advantage of this tool yet, but it’s a step in the right direction and a welcome addition for casual shutterbugs who love to simply snap away without worrying about editing later.”

For selfies, you get an 18-megapixel front camera on the new iPhone and a 42-megapixel front camera on the Google phone. Apple’s smarts include automatic framing based on the number of people in the selfie — letting you switch between horizontal and vertical without rotating your phone — and Pro controls to quickly adjust settings like aperture and shutter speed, among other things. On the other hand, the Pixel has a new Magic Capture mode (on the rear cameras), which records a short video clip and then uses AI to select the best still frames from it — and you can manually pick your favorite stills as well. 

Apple iPhone 18 Pro vs. Google Pixel 11 Pro: processor and battery

Apple’s new iPhone runs on the in-house A20 Pro chip, which is based on the 2nm process. That means the processor is denser and may have helped make room for the 18 Pro to get a larger vapor chamber to help keep the phone running cool under intensive use. In his review, Patrick said that “gaming on the iPhone 18 Pro Max has been a blast.”

He notes that the iPhone 18 Pro got warm only when downloading apps and game files (some as large as 28GB) or when charging — but not to the extent that it would be a concern. This is one of the best improvements since my iPhone 17 Pro Max used to get warm in regular use, depending on the ambient temperature.

For comparison, the Pixel 11 Pro has the new Tensor G6 processor, which powers new software and camera tricks. In my usage, it has been smooth in daily life. However, it gets warm to the touch in 10 minutes or more of gaming. While the Pixel 11 Pro’s screen makes games look good, CNET Managing Editor David Lumb finds the phone underpowered for gaming, noticing it struggles with higher graphics settings. The iPhone remains a better choice if you’re a mobile gamer, and Apple’s App Store includes several console-quality games for the iPhone that, when purchased, also work for Mac and Apple TV.

Another Apple upgrade comes in the form of battery life. The iPhone 18 Pro is claimed to last longer and charge faster than its predecessor. In CNET’s review, Patrick pointed out that the battery life “matches that of the 17 Pro and Pro Max.” It can last an entire day, but when you push it to the limits and drain the battery, it can charge faster than before.

In our 30-minute wired charging test, the 18 Pro went from empty to 82% charge. In the same test, the Pixel 11 Pro went from 55% to 88% with its 30-watt charging speed. If you opt for the Pro XL model, you get faster 45-watt charging, which can deliver more charge in the same amount of time.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro vs. Google Pixel 11 Pro: Extra features

The iPhone 18 Pro runs iOS 27, which squashes bugs and comes with a new set of features. It has improved voice-to-text capabilities and a smoother user interface. The new Apple iPhone also offers Focus Tracking and Reference Image features in the Camera app. The former can help you track a subject more efficiently, while Reference Image is like a digital version of a film negative. It grabs the pixel data at the time the image was taken before it goes through Apple’s image pipeline, so you can check the authenticity of the photo. That can be especially helpful since many Apple Intelligence features let you alter photos substantially, such as how Spatial Reframing lets you adjust the angle of a subject using generative AI.

On the other hand, the Pixel 11 Pro has many new Gemini Intelligence features, such as voice-to-text capabilities (Rambler) that filter out filler words when sending a message, or the ability to communicate in ASL via the Pixel camera. I’ve also enjoyed the new Camera Looks, while HiLight (a notification light on the camera bar that’s initially just for phone calls and Gemini) has been disappointing. Overall, both phones offer unique smart features to enhance your experience.

Plaion Replai pushed the worldwide launch of Neo Geo AES+ from November 12, 2026 to Thursday, September 16, 2027, blaming a mix of unexpectedly high demand and a global squeeze on memory chips driven by AI infrastructure. Official wording is blunt: the company cannot build enough units for a proper worldwide launch this year, and shipping a thin November batch would have meant instant sell-outs and secondary-market chaos. Commercial director Ben Jones said Plaion looked at every way to keep the original timetable, then chose extra time to lock down more chips and expand factories rather than shortchange the people already in line.

Demand far exceeded even the most optimistic fans, collectors, and retailers’ expectations following the April reveal. That success has now crashed straight into the same component shortfall that is slowing down the entire hardware industry, which is why a console based around re-engineered ASIC chips has been dragged into a RAM shortage. Existing pre-orders will remain in place, prices will not change, and no one will be required to re-order. Standard gear still costs $249.99, £179.99, or €199.99. The 35th Anniversary Edition is white and costs $349.99. The Ultimate Edition costs $999.99. New cartridges, meanwhile, cost $89.99 in the United States and €79.99 / £69.99 in Europe.

Patience is now rewarded with a Founding Supporter Bonus, which applies only to the first manufacturing run. People who buy both the normal model and the Anniversary Edition in that batch will receive a free NeoGeo AES+ gamepad. Meanwhile, Ultimate customers receive a 30% voucher that they can use to purchase future cartridges from Plaion’s store, which is particularly useful given that the bundle they’re purchasing already includes ten launch games, and of course, that offer does not apply to further manufacturing runs.

The Tokyo Game Show 2026 has just opened at Makuhari Messe, with Plaion in Hall 8, Booth 08-C01. Guess what? That was the first location the public could get their hands on the finished-looking hardware. The normal black versions and the white Anniversary Edition were both demonstrated, with the launch lineup running in 4:3 on low-latency HDMI. Japanese hands-on reviews have described the reproduction as almost identical to the original 1990 AES, with the same size, matte black finish, and surface on the shell and arcade stick. And sure, some people were a little surprised by how nicely the white hardware looked; many fans thought the Neo Geo only came in black, but in person, it actually looked pretty sharp, especially with the white Metal Slug cart.

Hardware is still striving for a one-to-one recreation of the original SNK home system, with real cartridges operating through new ASIC processors rather than software emulation. Original AES carts and arcade sticks plug directly in. The modern amenities are kept quiet: 1080p on HDMI with minimum lag, the old AV outs for CRT sets, stereo sound, permanent high-score storage, a custom on-screen BIOS, and DIP switches on the underside for language, display mode, and overclock. Yeah, the overclock is 24 MHz, which is enough to address the well-known slowdown in games like Metal Slug 2. Visitors to the booth also saw eight small switches that controlled HDMI, aspect ratio, overclocking, and scaling. Bluetooth RF pads and sticks were positioned alongside the wired ones, and the new memory card no longer required a coin cell.

The first wave includes ten physical cartridges: Metal Slug, The King of Fighters 2002, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Samurai Shodown V Special, Shock Troopers, Pulstar, Twinkle Star Sprites, Magician Lord, Over Top, and Big Tournament Golf. Big Tournament Golf also returns with its Scotland course, which previously appeared only on the Neo Geo CD. The boxes at the show had reversible jackets with Japanese and American art. Plaion is already in talks with other licensors for new physical games after the launch, which they see as a positive aspect of the delay.

GAME Watch staff walking the booth report they also saw Zero Wing on a unit, a Toaplan shooter that never saw an official Neo Geo release. That sighting has not been confirmed on Plaion’s official launch list, so consider it a floor discovery until the company confirms otherwise. Hobby Consolas also reported an unreleased bonus title and a Plaion outer carton that appears to fit the original-style box. Regardless, the stand was designed as a Neo Geo room first and then a publisher booth.
