Good news: Tesla sales stabilized in Europe. Bad news: Europe’s not buying much.

The good news for Tesla: vehicle sales jumped in February in a number of early-reporting European countries.

The bad news: Europe remains a small market for Tesla, so stabilization there isn’t the boon it would be in bigger markets like the US and China, where its vehicle sales continue to struggle.

For what it’s worth, Tesla has been de-emphasizing vehicle sales as it pivots its ambitions to AI and autonomy.

Google may not just power Apple’s Siri — it could host it, too

Apple has asked Google to look into running the upcoming AI Siri on its servers, The Information reports, following a previous agreement for Google’s Gemini model to underpin the new Siri in the first place.

Apple’s reliance on third parties for AI and cloud computing has helped it keep spending lower than its peers. But it also deepens the company’s dependence on rivals for critical AI infrastructure. Apple already relies heavily on Google and Amazon for cloud services. Hosting Siri on Google’s servers would expand that relationship.

Apple has invested in its own AI cloud system, Private Cloud Compute, meant to run sensitive queries on Apple-designed servers. But according to The Information, only about 10% of that capacity is in use, potentially signaling another AI execution problem for Apple.

Apple unveils $599 iPhone 17e with A19 chip

Apple unveiled the iPhone 17e on Monday, a lower-cost addition to its smartphone lineup starting at $599 with 256 gigabytes of storage — double the storage of the previous base model. The device features Apple’s A19 chip and MagSafe charging but is the same price as the previous iPhone 16e.

Bloomberg previously reported that Apple plans to market the model, which goes on sale March 11, to users in emerging markets and enterprise customers.

The launch comes as global smartphone shipments are projected to post their steepest decline ever this year, with memory shortages pushing up device costs and prices.

Meta reportedly strikes multibillion-dollar AI chip deal with Google as it struggles to design its own

Meta has signed a deal with Google to rent tensor processing units to develop new AI models and is in talks to buy the chips for its data centers, The Information reports.

The agreement comes on top of a recently announced “multi-generational” partnership with Nvidia and a chip supply deal with Advanced Micro Devices that could be worth more than $100 billion, as Meta scrapped its most advanced in-house AI training chip amid design challenges.

A Meta deal with Google, which has been rumored since November, would position the search giant more directly as a competitor to Nvidia in its core business of AI processors. Some analysts have said selling its custom chips to outside customers could become a business worth hundreds of billions of dollars for Google.
