Kairos Power

Apple has clarified that its new texture and grain controls for photographic styles in iOS twenty-seven are exclusive to iPhone 18 Pro models and the iPhone Duo, updating earlier press release wording that suggested broader compatibility across older devices.

Kairos Power has partnered with engineering firm Samsung C&T in a deal worth up to one hundred million dollars to help construct its first fifty-megawatt commercial demonstration reactor, Hermes-II, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, aiming for operation by twenty thirty to support Google's expanding AI power demands.

Microsoft is laying off two hundred and sixty Xbox employees as part of a larger ongoing restructuring of its gaming business that aims to impact thirty-two hundred roles by June twenty twenty-seven.

The cuts affect teams across Halo Studios, first-party studios, and management, while Microsoft also navigates selling off or closing several studios, including proceeding toward the proposed closure of Ninja Theory after potential acquisition deals fell through.

And we've talked about Valor Atomics on the show and TerraPower.

There's a company called Kairos Power.

And there's several others out there that are sort of this new wave of these neo-nuclear companies that are coming down the pipeline.

The current administration, the Department of Energy, have been very friendly toward nuclear.

Right.

Google has taken a different approach, partnering with Kairos Power to fund 500 megabytes of small modular reactors, or SMRs.

SMRs are still largely experimental and facing massive regulatory hurdles, though, aren't they?

They were in the early commercialization phase, yes.
