Apple is working with semiconductor company Broadcom on its first server chip designed to handle AI applications, according to The Information, which cited three people with knowledge of the project.
Apple is known for designing its own chips — called Apple Silicon and primarily manufactured by TSMC — for its devices. But those chips weren’t necessarily designed to power AI processing.

To power its Apple Intelligence servers, Apple is now said to be at least in part working with Broadcom on a new processor design.
Apple makes much of how Apple Intelligence works on-device, but it’s also clear that there are requests that need use of a greater Large Language Model. Such requests are sent to Apple’s servers, and the company has been working to produce server processors specifically for this purpose.
According to The Information, that work includes a partnership with Broadcom to make a processor codenamed Baltra for release in 2026. Reportedly, this does not mean Broadcom designing and producing the new processor, but possibly only providing one of several ”chiplets.”.

In a heavily paywalled article, The Information reports that Apple is partnering with Broadcom to develop a new AI chip specifically designed for server use. Apple currently runs Apple Intelligence through its M-series chips on its servers through a system known as Private Cloud Compute. The distinction, according to the report, is that the new chip expected as soon as 2026, will be Apple’s first server chip specifically designed for AI tasks.
The Information cites “one of the people” in saying that Broadcom is Apple’s partner for developing its server chip for artificial intelligence. The chip, The Information says, carries the code name Baltra.
Mozilla has removed the “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that had been present in Firefox since 2009, according to Windows Report. It was the first browser to adopt the feature. This change will arrive to all users who install version 135 and beyond, but Nightly users who opt to test experimental builds can already see the option missing from their browser settings.
Firefox isn’t the first browser to remove the DNT function. In fact, Apple had already done so in 2019 for Safari.

The Pokémon Company has just casually announced that it’s working with Aardman Animation, the legendary British animation studio known for creating Wallace & Gromit.
The project doesn’t have a name yet — and we imagine it’s a movie, TV short, or a series — but we’ll have to wait a while to see it, as it’s landing in 2027. Yes, 2027.
In a press release, TPC shared that ”The collaboration will see Aardman bringing their unique style of storytelling to the Pokémon universe in brand-new adventures.”
